# Linux installation * You can download the wallet from {% hint style="danger" %} **DO NOT use any other download locations** **as those do not guarantee that you will get a clean wallet that has not been tampered with.**‌ {% endhint %} * Create a new folder named FIX and extract the contents of the downloaded compressed wallet file to this folder. * To run the wallet open the terminal and navigate to the FIX folder you created.

Choose a location with enough free space as the files can take more space as the blockchain grows. It is recommended to use the default data folder if possible. * Initial startup might take a minute and once started wait for the wallet to fully synchronise before you start using it. * When the synchronisation is complete you will see a small green icon lighting up at the bottom right corner in your wallet: ![](/files/-LhjnX__zUUtIzbfV8Rb) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
