Hello Dash community,

I am new to the dash cryptocurrency and I would like to set up the light wallet on my linux computer. I have a 64 bit linux computer and unfortunately I have no idea what to do after downloading the installer.bin file. What steps do I have to take to get this application to run. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Take Care
 
I imagine it is this:
(you gotta change it from BTC to Dash Wallet obviously)

Installation on Ubuntu Linux
Using the Terminal application, run the following commands:

$
$
$
sudo apt-get install python-qt4 python-pip python-slowaes
sudo pip install https://download.electrum.org/Electrum-1.9.7.tar.gz#md5=5764f38d6e4bc287a577c8d16e797882
electrum
Ubuntu 14.04 makes it possible to install Electrum through the Software Center. Click the briefcase icon to the left of the Ubuntu desktop. Then enter “electrum” into the search box of the Software Center window.
