People,

Wesley has a lot of other things to do these days, but his wallet is one of the flagships for Nxt in usuability.

I think we should help out in maintaning it, so it's up to date.

In this post https://nxtforum.org/general-discussion/price-speculation/msg144276/#msg144276, he explains how to build your own installer.

I will also post them below.

If someone can help out, please make your own version and report the hash in this thread.
I will send a link to Wesley, so he can check up on this thread.

Thankee

Anyway, the instructions on how to build your own installer for windows; if possible I would like a few people here to try this, and also report the hashes, I haven't tested if they would match or not when built on different systems..

Quote
1. Install Node

http://nodejs.org/download/

2. Install git

http://git-scm.com/download/win

(during setup choose "use git from the Windows command prompt")

3. Open command line.

Execute "cmd.exe" in Windows.

4. Install grunt

> npm install grunt
> npm install -g grunt-cli

5. Clone the repo

> git clone https://bitbucket.org/nxt-wallet/nxt-wallet-win.git

6. Create the binary.

> cd nxt-wallet-win
> grunt

7. Place files in folder

Open the webkitbuilds folder, navigate to the "win" folder.
Place the created Nxt Wallet.exe in another folder, together with icudtl.dat and nw.pak
Place the newest Nxt version in a subfolder called “nxt”.

8. Change the app icon

The icon can be downloaded here: http://nxtra.org/AppIcon.ico

Download resource Hacker: http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/
File > Open > Choose the binary.
Action > Replace Icon > Open File with New Icon
File > Save

9. Make the installer

Download inno setup: http://www.jrsoftware.org/isdl.php
Open the setup.iss script included in the repository
Change the myAppVersion to the new version info.
Change the directories to point to the binary / icon files (step 7).

(Building for mac should be self-explanatory for anyone who knows xcode.)

Instructions also provided to mrv-777 who will be building a new version soon. Then I can redirect the site to the official nxt.org download page instead.

Just FYI I'll still be around to add new functionality if needed, like for example the newly added minting interface, but it would be nice if others could package up the other releases. There are a ton of NRS versions and ideally we should have an updated wallet installer for each of those. In the cases where no changes are needed to the code itself it's in fact even easier to build.

Thx.

I heard something, that soon the original release will come already as a one-click-installer. Isn't this true?
