<p>Don't trust just any source. People smarter than me strongly recommend using the official builds from bitcoincore.org. On CentOS, I've had success using the <a href="https://github.com/bitcoin-core/packaging" rel="nofollow noreferrer">official</a> <a href="https://snapcraft.io/install/bitcoin-core/centos" rel="nofollow noreferrer">snap package</a>, and I've copied the instructions below:</p>

ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
snap install bitcoin-core

<p>PS: Use <code>bitcoin-core.cli</code> and <code>bitcoin-core.deamon</code> as commands.</p>
<p>PPS: You might need to run these commands as a super user (e.g. using <code>sudo</code>).</p>

<p>I host two <code>bitcoind</code> RPMs (i686, x86_64) on my website which will most likely work fine for you, as they're built for CentOS 6.4. Run this command to install <code>bitcoind</code> :</p>

<pre><code>rpm -ivh http://tvdw.eu/bitcoin-0.8.1-1.el6.`uname -m`.rpm
</code></pre>

<p>If you want to download them manually, the files are:</p>

<pre><code>i686:   http://tvdw.eu/bitcoin-0.8.1-1.el6.i686.rpm
MD5:    5be52618594a3eaded19052197c2f6ed

MD5:    49ba4acbf9744e96bf12342888bc347a

<p>The packages are unsigned, so install these at your own risk (aka: some level of trust is required here).</p>

there is no way to install the same ones from the main bitcoin site? Yes a level of trust is indeed needed. but for the sake of the paranoid user, how can one do it themselves.

You'll want to find a `yum` repository that has `bitcoind` in it, as CentOS uses YUM and not APT.

# How do I go about installing a Bitcoin daemon in CentOS Linux?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2013-05-01)

I am trying to setup [a Drupal e-commerce solution](http://drupal.org/project/commerce_bitcoin) with a payment gateway of accepting Bitcoins during checkout, but I need a bitcoin daemon installed. How do I go about installing the Bitcoin daemon in my [CentOS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CentOS) installation?

Is there a step-by-step guide on what I need to type to install this? It would be great if it can be installed via a package manager in CentOS. [apt-get](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Packaging_Tool) doesn't seem to work for me.

I host two bitcoind RPMs (i686, x86_64) on my website which will most likely work fine for you, as they're built for CentOS 6.4. Run this command to install bitcoind :
rpm -ivh http://tvdw.eu/bitcoin-0.8.1-1.el6.`uname -m`.rpm

If you want to download them manually, the files are:
i686:   http://tvdw.eu/bitcoin-0.8.1-1.el6.i686.rpm
MD5:    5be52618594a3eaded19052197c2f6ed

x86_64: http://tvdw.eu/bitcoin-0.8.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
MD5:    49ba4acbf9744e96bf12342888bc347a

The packages are unsigned, so install these at your own risk (aka: some level of trust is required here).
[Edit] This is the bitcoin.spec file I use to build these packages :

You can also try [this setup](http://www.ringingliberty.com/bitcoin/), by another fellow [StackExchange member](https://stackexchange.com/users/1068389/michael-hampton).

Or you might want to take the **easier route and use a [Bitcoin Payment Gateway](https://bitpay.com)**.

Don't trust just any source. People smarter than me strongly recommend using the official builds from bitcoincore.org. On CentOS, I've had success using the official snap package, and I've copied the instructions below:
yum -y install epel-release
yum -y install snapd
systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
snap install bitcoin-core

PS: Use bitcoin-core.cli and bitcoin-core.deamon as commands.
PPS: You might need to run these commands as a super user (e.g. using sudo).
