# Desktop Wallet
### **LINUX**
1\. Install dependencies\
DEBIAN:\
`sudo apt-get install python`\
`sudo apt-get install golang`\
`sudo apt-get install git`\
`sudo apt-get install make`
*Continue with 2., the git-clone and go run commands are the same for Debian and Arch.*
*Your python version might vary due to your computers architecture. Mind your terminals output.*
\
ARCH:\
`sudo pacman -S python go git make`\
\
2\. Clone from GitHub and run the client. Three commands:\
`git clone https://github.com/ness-network/ness`\
\
`cd ness`\
\
`sudo go run cmd/privateness/privateness.go -disable-pex -log-level=debug -launch-browser=true -enable-all-api-sets=true -gui-dir="ness/src/gui/static/" -enable-gui=true`\
\
3\. A new browser tab opens with a Skycoin wallet tab. Create a wallet or enter your seed phrase. Done!\
If it doesn't, open it manually in your browser: [`http://127.0.0.1:6660/#/wallets`](http://127.0.0.1:6660/#/wallets)
### **WINDOWS**
1\. Install dependencies\
GoLang: \
Cmake: \
GitHub: [https://git-scm.com
](https://git-scm.com/)\
After GitHub Installation is done, set up a user by typing **`git init`** in the shell that has opened. Then close the shell.\
For reference, read the process in detail here: \
\
2\. Open a new GIT CMD terminal via your start menu. Type the following commands:\
\
`git clone https://github.com/ness-network/ness`\
\
`cd ness/`\
\
`go run cmd/privateness/privateness.go -disable-pex -log-level=debug -launch-browser=true -enable-all-api-sets=true -gui-dir="ness/src/gui/static/" -enable-gui=true`\
\
3\. A new browser tab opens with a Skycoin wallet tab. Create a wallet or enter your seed phrase.\
If it doesn't, open it manually in your browser: `http://127.0.0.1:6660/#/wallets`
## Troubleshooting: Go version outdated on 3B+
If you hit a brick wall installing `privatness`, you might have run afoul with the Go version installed on your 3B+ using `sudo apt install golang`, don't worry. [This comprehensive guide](https://www.e-tinkers.com/2019/06/better-way-to-install-golang-go-on-raspberry-pi/) (from 2019) shows you how to install the latest GoLang manually as the latest version. Respectfully I mirror and update this guide:
### Installing the latest GoLang on your Raspberry 3B+
*\[January 2022 update]* The current stable version available at [Golang official website](https://golang.org/dl/) is **v1.17.6**, and there is a distribution packaged for ARMv6 CPU available that is suitable for Raspberry Pi 3 (and some earlier models). Right click on the link that has **armv6l** on it to copy the link url, and type `wget` on Raspberry Pi terminal and paste the link to download the golang:\ 
```
wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.17.6.linux-armv6l.tar.gz
```
Decompress the downloaded package and move it to `/usr/local` directory:
```
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.17.6.linux-armv6l.tar.gz
rm go1.17.6.linux-armv6l.tar.gz
```
We now need to add the PATH environment variable that are required for the system to recongize where the Golang is installed. To do that, edit the `~/.profile` file:
```
nano ~/.profile
```
Scroll all the way down to the end of the file and add the following:
```
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
GOPATH=$HOME/golang
```
I’m going to store my Golang projects at the `~/golang` directory, if you like to store it somewhere else or want to have the directory named `go` instead of `golang`, feel free to change the `GOPATH=$HOME/golang` to something else. Finally we need to make the system aware of the new profile.
```
source ~/.profile
```
Type `which go` to find out where the Golang installed and `go version` to see the installed version and platform.
```
user@3bplus:~ $ which go
/usr/local/go/bin/go
user@3bplus:~ $ go version
go version go1.17.6 linux/arm
```
Golang organizes its code files based on a pre-defined [code organization](https://golang.org/doc/code.html#Organization) structure. So let’s create the project directories:
```
mkdir golang
mkdir golang/src
```
It’s all done, and ready to write the first Go programming.
