|
|
|
|
<p>Through the Blockstack browser application you can create an identity. An identity
|
|
represents you as you interact with others through Dapps. The Blockstack
|
|
Browser is itself, a simple Dapp. It allows you to:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>create one or more identities</li>
|
|
<li>send and receive bitcoin</li>
|
|
<li>manage the storage of your profile and application data</li>
|
|
<li>find and launch Dapps</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are editorions of the Blockstack Browser, the web edition is an
|
|
application you access through your web browser by simply <a href="https://browser.blockstack.org/">visit the
|
|
applications’ address</a> in your computer’s
|
|
browser. You can also install the browser as a client application on your
|
|
computer.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If all you want to do is create, manage, and fund an identity and then interact
|
|
with Dapps, you can simply use the web edition. If you have concerns about net
|
|
censorship, hightened security concerns, or develop a Dapp yourself, you may
|
|
want to download and install the browser’s client edition.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="using-the-browser-on-public-computers">Using the Browser on public computers</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Before you use the web application, it is important to note that once you log
|
|
into the application with the brower, your session does not expire until you
|
|
choose <strong>Settings > RESET BROWSER</strong>. For this reason, you should be careful
|
|
when using the browser on public computers.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you are in a library, for example, and log into the browser, simply
|
|
closing the tab or even rebooting the computer does not log you out. Instead,
|
|
you should be sure to choose <strong>Settings > RESET BROWSER</strong> before leaving the web
|
|
application.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For more informatin about your identity and the browser, see <a href="ids-introduction">Get and use a Blockstack IDs</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="install-the-client-edition">Install the client edition</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Remember, for most users the Blockstack Browser web application should
|
|
suffice. You only need to install the client if you have additional, advanced
|
|
concerns about Internet or identity. Though not required, some Dapp developrs
|
|
may find it useful to install the client edition.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Blockstack Browser installer is a <em>multiple-context</em> installer. If you
|
|
run it as a user, the installation is avalable only for that user. If you
|
|
install as administrator, the installation installs for all users. To find an
|

<p>The Blockstack installation on Linux requires Docker. Before installing
|
|
Blockstack, <a href="https://docs.docker.com/install/">install the version of Docker appropriate for your operating system</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p><strong>Note</strong>: The Blockstack script used in this procedure runs <code class="highlighter-rouge">docker</code> commands. Depending on how you installed and configure Dockered on your system, it may or may not be necessary to have <code class="highlighter-rouge">root</code> or <code class="highlighter-rouge">sudo</code> privileges. For this reason, the commands below show the use of <code class="highlighter-rouge">sudo</code> when interacting with the script or the <code class="highlighter-rouge">docker</code> executable. If your installation allows running Docker with lower privileges, you can omit it.</p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|

<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Download the Linux installer from from <a href="https://blockstack.org/install">the browser installation page</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This downloads a <code class="highlighter-rouge">Blockstack-for-Linux-v0.30.0.sh</code> script to your local drive.</p>
|

</li>
|

<li>

<p>Open a terminal and navigate to the directory containing the downloaded script.</p>

<p>When the script downloads, it is not executable.</p>
