I have been running Bitcoin Core 0.12.1 for many months - using Ubuntu (Linux). Decided to upgrade to SegWit version - 0.13.1 - today. Downloaded and extracted the files (on my Ubuntu / Linux system) but can't get it to run - there is no executable file. Can anyone help? Many thanks, D

the ppa for ubuntu is https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/ubuntu/bitcoin it shows the support of ubuntu 0.13.1
so you need to run
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
otherwise you can compile from source

Have done all that - still no bitcoin client (if that is what it is called) - i.e. no bitcoin core wallet appears– user6542Commented Dec 13, 2016 at 21:49

That did the trick - many thanks - I really am most grateful for your help. By the way, can you recommend a book on Linux terminal commands for a beginner like me?– user6542Commented Dec 14, 2016 at 8:44
