### Video Guides

Check out [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkaaC8yET1o) or [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8U53PFEsVk) video guide or take a look at the instructions below:

![](https://imgur.com/K2J1WWG.png)

Download the Windows installer (.msi) and follow the instructions. Wasabi will be installed to your `C:\Program Files\WasabiWallet\` folder. You will also have an icon in your Start Menu and on your Desktop.

After first run, a working directory will be created: `%appdata%\WalletWasabi\`. Among others, here is where your wallet files and your logs reside.

## Debian/Ubuntu Based Linux

Check out [Max's video tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUc9A76rwX4) or follow the instructions:

After downloading the `.deb` package install it by running double clicking on it or running `sudo dpkg -i Wasabi-1.1.6.deb`.

After first run, a working directory will be created: `~/.walletwasabi/`. Among others, here is where your wallet files and your logs reside.

## Linux

Check out this short, to-the-point [video guide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFbv_b-bju4), or [this other funnier one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=4\&v=zPKpC9cRcZo) with more explanation, or take a look at the instructions below. Note that, the first video was created on OSX, but the steps are the same for Linux.

Download the Linux archive and extract it, while keeping the file permissions: `tar -pxzf WasabiLinux-1.1.6.tar.gz`. You can run Wasabi by executing `./wassabee`.

After first run, a working directory will be created: `~/.walletwasabi/`. Among others, here is where your wallet files and your logs reside.

## OSX

Check out this [video guide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Zmc54XYzBA) or take a look at the instructions below:

After opening Wasabi, you may encounter a security popup. You can bypass it in multiple ways. One way would be to keep the control key down while opening Wasabi.

## GPG Verification

[Get GnuPG](https://www.gnupg.org/download/index.html), then save [nopara73's PGP](https://github.com/zkSNACKs/WalletWasabi/blob/master/PGP.txt).

Import the key you downloaded to GnuPG. Open the terminal/command line:

```bash
gpg --import PGP.txt
```

With this public key, from now on, you will be able to make sure the Wasabi software you download was not tampered by checking against the corresponding `.asc` file:

```bash
gpg --verify {path to downloaded signature}.asc {path to binary}
```

Example: `gpg --verify WasabiInstaller.msi.asc WasabiInstaller.msi`.

If the message returned says Good signature and that it was signed by `Ficsór Ádám` with a Primary key fingerprint: `21D7 CA45 565D BCCE BE45 115D B4B7 2266 C47E 075E`, then the software wasn't tampered with since the developer signed it.

Remember to check again the PGP signature every time you make a new download.

If you trust nopara73's key and you are familiar with the [Web Of Trust](https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/147447/gpg-why-is-my-trusted-key-not-certified-with-a-trusted-signature), please consider also [validating it](https://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual/x334.html).
