Chia is a new kinda of Crypto Currency that instead of using PoW (Proof of Work) it uses Proof of Space and Time which ends up using hard drive space to “mine” farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Install Chia Blockchain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can copy and paste all of these commands in a terminal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

sudo apt update -y\nsudo apt upgrade -y\nsudo apt install -y git\ngit clone https:\/\/github.com\/Chia-Network\/chia-blockchain.git -b latest --recurse-submodules\n\ncd chia-blockchain\nsh install.sh\n. .\/activate\nchia init<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The . .\/activate command is needed to be able to run the chia commands.  I believe it sources into the current shell so the commands work correctly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Install Chia Blockchain Gui<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
After you have run the above commands, do the following to install the Chia Gui<\/p>\n\n\n\n
chmod +x .\/install-gui.sh
.\/install-gui.sh
cd chia-blockchain-gui
npm run electron &<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Launching Gui after it is installed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In the future for launching the Gui you should be able to copy and paste the following commands in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
cd chia-blockchain 
. .\/activate 
cd chia-blockchain-gui 
npm run electron &<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
You can also put all of the above commands into a bash shell script and then just run the script instead of having to run the commands all over again every time you want to launch the gui.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
