Bitcoin: pywallet needs ‘bsddb’ package to run, please install it

Note: I will modify its code to add an essential dependence for Pywallet, a popular Bitcoin wallet application.

Before immersing ourselves in the modified script, be sure to have:

• Python 3.8 or posterior : Make sure Python 2.x is not installed in your system.

• Pywallet package : You need the pstt ypython-bch packages to run pywallet.

Here is the updated article with a warning on the installation of dependencies:

Pywallet Installation: Bitcoin wallet for Bitcoin Nore

As Ubuntu user 24.04.1 LTS, Python 2.7.18 has installed through the official repository. However, Pywallet is not included in this installation. To run pywallet, we will need to install additional packages.

Warning

Before continuing, keep in mind that the installation of these units may require additional software and may not be compatible with your existing system. Proceed at your own risk.

Step 1: Install the required packages

First, update the package index:

`Bash

SUDO APTO UPDATE

Then install thepstty python-bhpackages, which are necessary for Pywallet:

Bash

SUDO APT-GET INSTALL PYTHON3-PYWALLET PYTHON3-PSBT PYTHON3-Cryptography python3- bitcoincore

Alternatively, you can use a package administrator such as Homebrew (in Macos) or APT-GET with additional repositories to install these packages.

Step 2: Update python 3.8

After installing the required packages, update its Python 3.8:

Bash

SUDO APTO UPDATE

SUDO PYTHON3 -M PIP INSTALL -UPGRESS PIP

Step 3: Configure pywallet

Now that you have the necessary units installed, let's configure pywallet to use Bitcoin Core:

Bash

CD/Home/User/Bitcoin-Wallet-Setup/

./configure-Enable-Ccores = 1

Replace/Home/User/with its real start directory.

Step 4: Run Pywallet

Create a new wallet and execute it:

Bash

python3 /home/user/bitcoin-wallet-setup/walpaper.py

`

This will launch the Pywallet application, which should now be able to use Bitcoin Core. Keep in mind that you will need to create a wallet before running Pywallet for the first time.

Conclusion

Following these steps, Pywallet for Bitcoin has installed and configured successfully in its Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS system. With this configuration, you can now manage your bitcoins and interact with the Bitcoin core network. Remember to update your Python installation regularly and consider installing additional units as necessary.
