Add to repository

Would be nice to be able to install wallet from terminal on Ubuntu by doing something like:

$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ravencoin/ravencoin $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install raven-qt ravend

I’m not sure how supporting one distro’s repository helps spur adoption. If you are savvy enough to install apps via cli on Linux then i see no added benefit of maintaining the above method which also introduces an additional party to trust(the ppa maintainer). The simplest method of running a static build on Linux would be: $ wget https://github.com/RavenProject/Ravencoin/releases/download/v2.2.2/raven-2.2.2.0-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz $ tar -xvf raven-2.2.2.0-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz

$ wget https://github.com/RavenProject/Ravencoin/releases/download/v2.2.2/raven-2.2.2.0-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz $ tar -xvf raven-2.2.2.0-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz

Maybe a write-up for installation instructions (including verification of the SHA256SUM)? I'm not super familiar with Ubuntu (trying to learn), and it was a bit of bear to figure it out on my own. Would be nice to have something readily available in the same spot as the wallets that walks users through this process.

I suggest to close this once we are happy with current installation instruction.

While I don't want to be the one to maintain a ppa, I can absolutely write installation instructions for windows (if needed) and linux/linux cli. Many projects have installation instructions in about.md, would it be helpful for me to do this?

I can make the package and maintain it if needed, no problems from my side. Is this a real interest for the project? AFAIU, would be great for the network to deploy VM/instances and with something super easy like "apt install ravend"

Cheers.
