Linux Mint install guide (should work for any debian derivative likely):
- Use this command to update Linux package sources: "sudo apt-get update"
- Execute this command to install python4: "sudo apt-get install python openssl libssl-dev git python-msgpack python-qt4"
- Use this command or a manual download to copy BitMessage to your home folder: "git clone https://github.com/Bitmessage/PyBitmessage $HOME/PyBitmessage"
- Add a run command shortcut to your menu and/or desktop with the command: "~/PyBitmessage/src/bitmessagemain.py" (you can test this command first in the terminal)
I have not tested this recently so let me know if it doesn't work. (Guide is based on this link: https://wiki.bitmessage.org/index.php/Compiling_instructions)
