How to build your own Ripple wallet

[Twarden]

Update to this situation on Ubuntu 14.04?  What is the suggested and supported distribution?

Does this method apply to the XRP Chat Wallet for Linux in Links and Resources here? Can someone post a noobs' guide on how to install that package?

Trying to play around with the instructions in the first post.  If you were to set this up on a linux server, what steps do you need to take to view the console from online after running gulp packages? So far, I can only view it if I run gulp and access from port 3000, but the config.js and other files aren't accessible by url

Try running gulp, without packages.

Edit: So it looks like config.js is actually being pulled.  I used Chrome's inspect function and found this error:

Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined

vendor.js:27086

 

Also is there a way to have the page served without leaving gulp running in the terminal?

Thanks to xrpchatrocks, here is a quick guide for OSX/linux users to build the Ripple Admin Console*.

The Ripple Admin Console gives you almost all the functionality of RippleTrade. So if you didn't get a chance to register an account on the RippleTrade site, never fear! You can now access the network with your very own wallet.

You will need the following installed on your system beforehand:

• node.js (make sure its version 0.12 available here, v4 doesn't work!)
• gulp packages (help here)

Commands to type in the terminal:

1. git clone https://github.com/rippex/ripple-client-desktop
2. cd ripple-client-desktop
3. npm install
4. cp config_example.js config.js
5. npm install nw
6. gulp packages

You will then find the executable files in the folder: ripple-client-desktop/packages/RippleAdminConsole1.3.2/

These instructions are for linux/osx, if you are using Windows then these instructions won't help you.

 

*previously called the Ripple Desktop Client.

 

 

Is this method of connecting to the ripple network, on a Mac, still valid?
