btcLiveTools is a simple bash script that makes setting up a Debian Live CD environment for bitcoin use very quick and simple. It carries out the following tasks when installing your preferred bitcoin software:
- Downloads the installation files from the software author.
- Downloads the installation file signature files or hash files from the author.
- Imports the author's public pgp key from pgp.mit.edu.
- Validates that the downloaded files are genuine using the author's public key. If the validation fails the script fails with an error message.
- The dependencies, if there are any, are downloaded using the default Debian repositories using apt.
- The software installer for the software chosen will be ran.
Currently btcLiveTools provides the option to install the following software:
- MultiBit
- Bitcoin-Qt
- Electrum
- Armory
- Truecrypt Encryption software
