Attention Windows Users

QRing is heavily optimized for Linux environments. To compile and run the node natively on Windows without performance degradation, we highly recommend installing the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

CRITICAL ACTION REQUIRED FOR EXISTING MINERS

If you started mining before version 0.1.0.2, you will need to delete your local blockchain data! This is located at data/lmdb/. If the daemon won't sync, delete this folder and try starting it again.

Linux / WSL2 Installation Guide

1. Prerequisites

  • Linux OS: Ubuntu 22.04+ recommended.
  • WSL2: Ensure you are running WSL version 2 (wsl --status).
  • CPU Support:
    • AVX2: For most modern CPUs.
    • AVX512: For high-end workstations and servers (GCE/AWS instances).

2. Downloading the Binaries

You can download the latest release from the QRing GitHub Releases page.

Using wget (replace <VERSION> and <ARCH>):

# Example for AVX2:
wget https://github.com/bryanjfehr/qring-releases/releases/download/0.1.0.2-testnet/qring-linux-avx2.tar.gz

# Example for AVX512:
wget https://github.com/bryanjfehr/qring-releases/releases/download/0.1.0.2-testnet/qring-linux-avx512.tar.gz

3. Installation

1. Extract the archive:

tar -xvf qring-linux-avx2.tar.gz
cd qring-linux-avx2

2. Make binaries executable:

chmod +x qmonerod qmonero-wallet-cli

3. Move to path (Optional):

sudo mv qmonerod qmonero-wallet-cli /usr/local/bin/

4. Running the Node

Start your node to sync with the testnet:

./qmonerod --testnet

5. Running the Wallet

Once the node is synced, open your wallet:

./qmonero-wallet-cli --testnet

Troubleshooting

  • Balance Showing 0: Ensure your node is fully synced. If you recently mined blocks and the balance isn't appearing, ensure you are using the latest 0.1.0.2-testnet binaries.
  • Connection Refused: Ensure qmonerod is running in the background before launching the wallet.
