<p>I'm very new to Elementary OS and I used the version Freya a short time. There I got Bitcoin-qt easily out of the repositories.
On Elementary OS isn't that that simple - has anyone experienced the same?</p>

<pre><code>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
</code></pre>

<p>The tags above aren´t working on Loki.
I just want to know - I have no problem to download the .tar.gz and start it from there.</p>

# Bitcoin-qt on Elementary OS Loki

I'm very new to Elementary OS and I used the version Freya a short time. There I got Bitcoin-qt easily out of the repositories.
On Elementary OS isn't that that simple - has anyone experienced the same?
