Changes

  • In Quickstart/Install/Linux "Replace $VESION with..." - Should be $VERSION
  • [Windows only] in Quickstart/Install/Windows change set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Local to set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Local\Grin OR set PATH=%PATH%;$PATH_TO_FOLDER_CONTAINING_GRIN_BINARIES

Additions

  • Explain how to install ToR prior to showing the command grin-wallet listen
  • [Linux only] in Quickstart/Install/Linux show how to download the tar.gz files using just the CLI
    eg:
wget https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin/releases/latest/download/grin-$VERSION-linux-amd64.tar.gz
wget https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin-wallet/releases/latest/download/grin-wallet-$VERSION-linux-amd64.tar.gz

Huh for some reason I only noticed this now. Noted, thanks.

[Windows only] in Quickstart/Install/Windows tell users to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=52685 (Grin won't work without it)

I've never heard of that before. Also, personally, I've had no problems running Grin on a fresh windows install.
