- 2018, The Flakechain Project
- 2014-2018, The Monero Project
(Tested on Ubuntu 17.10 x64, Ubuntu 18.04 x64 and Gentoo x64)
- Install Monero dependencies
-
For Debian distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Tails...)
sudo apt install build-essential cmake libboost-all-dev miniupnpc libunbound-dev graphviz doxygen libunwind8-dev pkg-config libssl-dev libzmq3-dev
-
For Gentoo
sudo emerge app-arch/xz-utils app-doc/doxygen dev-cpp/gtest dev-libs/boost dev-libs/expat dev-libs/openssl dev-util/cmake media-gfx/graphviz net-dns/unbound net-libs/ldns net-libs/miniupnpc net-libs/zeromq sys-libs/libunwind
- Install Qt:
Note: Qt 5.7 is the minimum version required to build the GUI. This makes some distributions (mostly based on debian, like Ubuntu 16.x or Linux Mint 18.x) obsolete. You can still build the GUI if you install an official Qt release, but this is not officially supported.
-
For Ubuntu 17.10+
sudo apt install qtbase5-dev qt5-default qtdeclarative5-dev qml-module-qtquick-controls qml-module-qtquick-controls2 qml-module-qtquick-dialogs qml-module-qtquick-xmllistmodel qml-module-qt-labs-settings qml-module-qt-labs-folderlistmodel qttools5-dev-tools
-
For Gentoo
sudo emerge dev-qt/qtcore:5 dev-qt/qtdeclarative:5 dev-qt/qtquickcontrols:5 dev-qt/qtquickcontrols2:5 dev-qt/qtgraphicaleffects:5
-
Optional : To build the flag
WITH_SCANNER
-
For Ubuntu
sudo apt install qtmultimedia5-dev qml-module-qtmultimedia libzbar-dev
-
For Gentoo
The qml USE flag must be enabled.
emerge dev-qt/qtmultimedia:5 media-gfx/zbar

Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui.git
-
Build
cd monero-gui QT_SELECT=5 ./build.sh
The executable can be found in the build/release/bin folder.
brew install boost --c++11
brew install openssl
- to install openssl headers
brew install pkgconfig
brew install cmake
brew install zeromq
Note: If cmake can not find zmq.hpp file on OS X, installing zmq.hpp
from https://github.com/zeromq/cppzmq to /usr/local/include
should fix that error.
- Install Qt:
brew install qt5
(or download QT 5.8+ from qt.io)
If you have an older version of Qt installed via homebrew, you can force it to use 5.x like so:
brew link --force --overwrite qt5
-
Add the Qt bin directory to your path
Example:
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Qt/5.8/clang_64/bin
This is the directory where Qt 5.x is installed on your system
-
Grab an up-to-date copy of the monero-gui repository
git clone https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui.git
- Go into the repository
cd monero-gui
- Start the build
./build.sh
The executable can be found in the build/release/bin
folder.
Note: Workaround for "ERROR: Xcode not set up properly"
Edit $HOME/Qt/5.8/clang_64/mkspecs/features/mac/default_pre.prf
replace
isEmpty($$list($$system("/usr/bin/xcrun -find xcrun 2>/dev/null")))
with
isEmpty($$list($$system("/usr/bin/xcrun -find xcodebuild 2>/dev/null")))

The Monero GUI on Windows is 64 bits only; 32-bit Windows GUI builds are not officially supported anymore.
-
Install MSYS2, follow the instructions on that page on how to update system and packages to the latest versions
-
Open an 64-bit MSYS2 shell: Use the MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit shortcut, or use the
msys2_shell.cmd
batch file with a-mingw64
parameter -
Install MSYS2 packages for Monero dependencies; the needed 64-bit packages have
x86_64
in their namespacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain make mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-boost mingw-w64-x86_64-openssl mingw-w64-x86_64-zeromq mingw-w64-x86_64-libsodium
You find more details about those dependencies in the Monero documentation. Note that that there is no more need to compile Boost from source; like everything else, you can install it now with a MSYS2 package.
-
Install Qt5
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5
There is no more need to download some special installer from the Qt website, the standard MSYS2 package for Qt will do in almost all circumstances.
-
Install git
pacman -S c
-
Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui.git
-
Build
cd monero-gui ./build.sh cd build make deploy
The executable can be found in the .\release\bin
directory.
