Windows downloads

Download the 3.6.1 Windows installer or the portable package from the releases page. Run the MSI and follow its prompts. To use the portable version, extract the entire ZIP to a folder and run bytecoin-gui.exe from there. Keep the extracted files together; the GUI needs its companion programs and libraries.

Before running a download, compare its SHA-256 hash with the matching entry in the release's SHA256SUMS.txt. Only use an installer when it is explicitly listed for the same release version.

The MSI is not code-signed, so Windows may display an unknown-publisher warning. Verify its checksum against the official release before opening it.

Linux and macOS packages are produced by the Build Linux and macOS GitHub Actions workflow on manual runs and version-tag pushes. Download those packages from the workflow run's artifacts; they are not automatically attached to the GitHub release.

Build from source

Requirements

• CMake 3.14 or newer, a C++14-capable compiler, and Qt 5 development components (Core, Gui, Network, Widgets, and SVG).
• A compatible Bytecoin core checkout built alongside this repository at ../bytecoin. The build expects its headers and bytecoin-crypto library in the standard locations referenced by CMakeLists.txt.
• Internet access during initial CMake configuration to fetch the pinned ZXing-C++ 1.4.0 dependency. QR processing is performed locally; wallet data and QR contents are not sent to a QR service.

CMake

From the repository root, configure and build:

cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/path/to/qt
cmake --build build --config Release --parallel

The GUI executable is written to the repository's bin directory. On Windows, use a Qt build and compiler architecture that match.

Qt Creator / qmake

Open src/bytecoin-gui.pro in Qt Creator and select a kit compatible with the Bytecoin core build. The qmake project requires a prebuilt static ZXing-C++ 1.4.0 installation with reader and writer support. Set ZXING_ROOT to that installation's prefix before building; its headers and library must be available for the selected kit.

Safety

Always verify the recipient address and amount on the final confirmation screen. Keep wallet files, passwords, recovery words, and private keys secret, and maintain a secure backup. Never share recovery information with anyone.
