Official Download

Github Windows64 Installer: sexcoin-0.15.2.2-win64-setup.exe

Github Mac/iOS Installer  : Sexcoin-Qt-0.15.2.1.dmg

New Installation

See these instructions: Installing on Windows

Upgrading Windows/Mac

The easy way, longer way:

1. Take a backup of your wallet!!!!
2. Shut down your client.
3. Download and run the installer.
4. Start the new client.
5. Its downloading the full blockchain, Mine syncs in about 5-8 hours.

The faster way:

1. Take a backup of your wallet!!!!
2. Download the bootstrap file:
3. Download the installer:
4. Unzip bootstrap.dat to your data directory. This is the folder that contains wallet.dat.
   1. Windows default: '%APPDATA%\Roaming\Sexcoin'
   2. Mac Default : 'Users\<you>\Application Support\Sexcoin'
5. Run the installer.
6. Start the client. It will pick up the presence of the bootstrap file and start importing blocks from it. This takes about 2-3 hours in my environment.

If you really want to sync fast, view the README for the bootstrap project.

Linux Users:

At the moment, you need to build the Sexcoin client yourself.

 git clone https://github.com/sexcoin-project/sexcoin

Ubuntu 12.04 & 14.04

Building on these versions is nearly painless. Use the /depends build methods and get QT5 GUI versions up and going with no problems.

View the README's in the /depends directory for instructions.

Ubuntu 16 & 17

"Ubuntu16.04 instructions"

"Ubuntu 17 Xenity instructions"

I will post some more complete linux notes shortly.
