How to Use BlockchainCommons Command Line Tools on TailsOS

Tails is a portable operating system that protects against surveillance and censorship. It is based on the Debian GNU/Linux distribution.

The following BlockckainCommons tools have TailsOS release packages that can be installed manually:

In order to run any of the above tools on Tails: 0. While running Tails, download one or more of the above packages that you wish to use. You will now have a file with a *.deb extension e.g. seedtool-cli_0.9.1-1_amd64.deb.

  1. Optionally consider saving this file in your Tails Persistent Storage
  2. Open an Administrator Terminal. This requires that you had set an administrator password when starting Tails.
  3. To install the package if it is in the Tor Browser folder, enter the command: dpkg -i "Tor Browser/seedtool-cli_0.9.1-1_amd64.deb"
  4. The executable e.g. seedtool will now be in your PATH and can be run from the command line.
