Example for Bitcoin Core version 28.0:
Just copy and past the 4 lines below in a terminal (Ctrl Alt T) and press Enter:
git clone https://github.com/hMsats/compile_bitcoin_core.git;\
cd compile_bitcoin_core;\
chmod +x maken.sh;\
./maken.sh 28.0
to install the bash script, execute the script and download, compile and test Bitcoin Core version 28.0 in your Ubuntu Linux home directory. You may have to answer a few questions.
You'll find bitcoind and bitcoin-cli in $HOME/bitcoin-28.0/src and bitcoin-qt in $HOME/bitcoin-28.0/src/qt.
All Bitcoin Core tests are run (for bitcoind and bitcoin-qt).
The necessary packages are installed and the appropriate berkeley-db version is downloaded and compiled.
Bitcoin Core is downloaded from https://bitcoincore.org.
Total compilation time will be on the order of an hour.
The shell script name "maken" means "to make" in Dutch.
The script was recently tested on a fresh Ubuntu install: 22.04.2 LTS
The script was recently tested on a fresh Ubuntu install: 24.04.1 LTS
Because of how the checksums are calculated, the script "maken.sh" only works for Bitcoin Core versions 22.0 or higher. To compile earlier versions set "do_check_bitcoin_core_download=0" inside the script "maken.sh".
