Backtrace

The PPA doesn't support Ubuntu 12.04. I don't know if the support could be added or if that's not feasible due to the older system libraries in 12.04.

[eddieoz]

Many thanks scrawl! I will upgrade that server and try again.

You're welcome! You can see the supported releases of the PPA on this page: https://launchpad.net/~ethereum/+archive/ubuntu/ethereum-dev . The lowest supported release is currently Trusty (14.04).

[obscuren]

We do not support 12.04 and likely never will. Closing this because it's not an actual issue :-) (thanks for taking the time to open an issue though!)

Hey normailly after you form Ethereum/mist repo on github
https://github.com/ethereum/mist
You should get acces to the installation doc i'll post the textes here :

Installation

If you want to install the app from a pre-built version on the release page
https://github.com/ethereum/mist/releases, you can simply run the
executable after download.

For updating, simply download the new version and copy it over the old one
(keep a backup of the old one if you want to be sure).
https://github.com/ArtemizI/mist#linux-zip-installsLinux .zip installs

In order to install from .zip files, please install libgconf2-4 first:

apt-get install libgconf2-4

https://github.com/ArtemizI/mist#config-folderConfig folder

The data folder for Mist depends on your operating system:

• Windows %APPDATA%\Mist
• macOS ~/Library/Application\ Support/Mist
• Linux ~/.config/Mist

Some dependencies shouls be installed for Ethereum wallet to work :

Dependencies

To run mist in development you need:

• Node.js https://nodejs.org/ v7.x (use the preferred installation
  method for your OS)
• Meteor https://www.meteor.com/install javascript app framework
• Yarn https://yarnpkg.com/ package manager

Install the latter ones via:

$ curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh
$ curl -o- -L https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash

https://github.com/ArtemizI/mist#initializationInitialization

Now you're ready to initialize Mist for development:

$ git clone https://github.com/ethereum/mist.git
$ cd mist
$ git submodule update --init --recursive
$ yarn

https://github.com/ArtemizI/mist#run-mistRun Mist

For development we start the interface with a Meteor server for auto-reload
etc.

Start the interface in a separate terminal window:

$ yarn dev:meteor

In the original window you can then start Mist with:

$ cd mist
$ yarn dev:electron

Run the Wallet

Start the wallet app for development, in a separate terminal window:

$ yarn dev:meteor

In another terminal:

$ cd my/path/meteor-dapp-wallet/app && meteor --port 3050

In the original window you can then start Mist using wallet mode:

$ cd mist
$ yarn dev:electron --mode wallet

https://github.com/ArtemizI/mist#connect-your-own-nodeConnect your own
node

This is useful if you are already running your own node or would like to
connect with a private or development network.

$ yarn dev:electron --rpc path/to/geth.ipc

Hope that helps :)
