Building From Source

Community

Wallets

Binary (pre-compiled) wallets are available on all platforms here in Releases.

Note: Important! Only download pre-compiled wallets from the official Verge website or official Github repos.

Note: For a fresh wallet install you can reduce the blockchain syncing time by downloading a nightly snapshot and following the setup instructions.

Windows Wallet Usage

Download the pre-compiled software from the releases section here.
Install
In windows file explorer, open c:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\VERGE (be sure to change XXX to your windows user)
Right click and create a new file verge.txt

Edit the file to have the following contents (be sure to change the password)

rpcuser=vergerpcusername
rpcpassword=85CpSuCNvDcYsdQU8w621mkQqJAimSQwCSJL5dPT9wQX
rpcport=20102
port=21102
daemon=1
algo=groestl

Save and close the file
Rename the file to verge.conf
Start the VERGE-qt program.
Open up VERGE-qt console and run getinfo (or getmininginfo) to verify settings.

Note: You must re-start the wallet after making changes to verge.conf.

MacOS Wallet

Download the pre-compiled macos software from the releases section here.
Double click the DMG
Drag the Verge-Qt to your Applications folder
Double click the Verge-Qt application to open it.
Go grab a :coffee: while it syncs with the blockchain

Note: It may look like it is frozen or hung while it is indexing and syncing the blockchain. It's not. It's chugging away, but currently the UI doesn't give you a lot of feedback on status. We're working to fix that. Syncing takes a while to complete (ie. > 10 minutes or more) so just be patient.

Note: If you want to change your configuration the file is located at ~/Library/Application\ Support\VERGE\VERGE.conf. This isn't required by default.

Unix Wallet

Compile using Unix instructions.
The wallet GUI is in ./verge/src/qt and the daemon in ./verge/src.
Optional - the binaries to your favorite location. for use by all users, run the following commands:
```
sudo cp src/VERGEd /usr/bin/
sudo cp src/qt/VERGE-qt /usr/bin/
```
Run ./VERGEd from wherever you put it. The output from this command will tell you that you need to make a VERGE.conf file and will suggest some good starting values.
Open up your new config file that was created in your home directory in your favorite text editor
```
nano ~/.VERGE/VERGE.conf
```
Paste the output from the VERGEd command into the VERGE.conf like this: (It is recommended to change the password to something unique.)
```
rpcuser=vergerpcusername
rpcpassword=85CpSuCNvDcYsdQU8w621mkQqJAimSQwCSJL5dPT9wQX
rpcport=20102
port=21102
daemon=1
algo=groestl
```
Save the file and exit your editor. If using nano type ctrl + x on your keyboard and the y and hitting enter. This should have created a VERGE.conf file with what you just added.
Start the Verge daemon again
```
./path/to/VERGEd
```

Note: To check the status of how much of the blockchain has been downloaded (aka synced) type ./path/to/VERGEd getinfo.

Note: If you see something like 'Killed (program cc1plus)' run dmesg to see the error(s)/problems(s). This is most likely caused by running out of resources. You may need to add some RAM or add some swap space.
