Need to start the GUI usingstartxNote this is the login process the next time we use the VM. You type the username, password and then startx. So our Linux is now installed and booted!Grin Wallet InstallationFirst we need to open a terminalNow we need to install some packages we will need. We need to first get a web browser, so you can load the docs and this tutorial in the webbrowser in the VM, so you can copy and paste. We also need git to pull the source from github.sudo apt install -y firefox gitOnce you have installed Firefox and git, lets create a launcher for it. Just right click on the desktop and select create launcher. Then choose the Create Launcher Firef… and then click create.Now open firefox, and choose mark as executable so the warning does not show up again.load the tutorial up in Firefox so you can copy and paste the next stepsThese will be required to build the wallet from source and to run the wallet. You can visit the official wallets GitHub for the requirements to see the commands we will perform below. This will install all of the software we need in one commandcurl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh; source $HOME/.cargo/env && sudo apt install -y build-essential cmake libgit2-dev clang libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev zlib1g-dev pkg-config libssl-dev llvmPress enter if it ask for installation options. This whole operation will install about 700MB of packages.For the wallet, were going to use a community built wallet instead of the official wallet. The reason for this is because in my opinion the community wallet is much easier to use, and to send and receive payments from. It more resembles the monero CLI in a way in my opinion so I will be using this wallet in the tutorial. The official wallet requires a lot of changing files which is another reason why were not going to use this. Also the community wallet has a better documentation on how to use the wallet.Here is the links for the official wallet and wallet 713Here is the link for the build steps and wallet usage for wallet 713Note the wallet now has a built in node, so we do not need a separate node in the new build.Now its time to build the walletcd ~ && mkdir Installed-Programs && cd I* && git clone https://github.com/vault713/wallet713 && cd wallet713 && cargo build --releaseGrin Wallet
