Desktop wallet for Zero Currency ($ZER) that runs on Linux, Windows and MacOS.

Installation

Releases page has the latest installers and binaries.

zerod

zerowallet needs zerod, Zero full node process running. If one is not already running, zerowallet will start it.

If this is the first time you're running zerowallet, it will download the Zcash cryptographic params (~1.7 GB) and configure desktop user defaults in zero.conf. Option--no-embeddedforces zerowallet to connect to a runningzerod` full node process.

Compiling from source

zerowallet is written in C++ 14, and can be compiled with g++/clang++/visual c++. It also depends on Qt5, available from. Note that building zerod from source is a separate task.

Building on Linux

sudo apt-get install qt5-default qt5-qmake libqt5websockets5-dev
git clone https://github.com/zerocurrencycoin/zerowallet.git
cd zerowallet
qmake zero-qt-wallet.pro CONFIG+=debug
make -j$(nproc)

./zerowallet

Building on Windows

You need Visual Studio 2017 (The free C++ Community Edition works just fine).

From the VS Tools command prompt

git clone  https://github.com/zerocurrencycoin/zerowallet.git
cd zerowallet
c:\Qt5\bin\qmake.exe zero-qt-wallet.pro -spec win32-msvc CONFIG+=debug
nmake

debug\zerowallet.exe

To create the Visual Studio project files, in order to compile and run in Visual Studio:

c:\Qt5\bin\qmake.exe zero-qt-wallet.pro -tp vc CONFIG+=debug

Building on MacOS

Install the Xcode app with the command line tools first, and then install Qt.

git clone https://github.com/zerocurrencycoin/zerowallet.git
cd zerowallet
qmake zero-qt-wallet.pro CONFIG+=debug
make

./zerowallet.app/Contents/MacOS/zerowallet

Emulating the embedded node

In binary releases, zerowallet will launch zerod executable in the current directory. To simulate this in a developer setup on Linux, assuming zerowallet and zero git repos are in the same directory, place symbolic links in zerowallet/src

    ln -s ../zero/src/zerod
    ln -s ../zero/src/zero-cli
