#### Perform the following steps on both your online and offline computers: Install the pip Python installer: $ sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev Install required Python modules: $ sudo pip install ecdsa scrypt pycrypto bitcoin-python Install the pexpect Python module: $ sudo pip install pexpect >> Note: pexpect v4.0.1 (the latest version as of this writing) is BROKEN and >> will cause errors when running the test suite! If this is the version you >> just installed on your system (examine the output of 'pip freeze' to find >> out), then you must downgrade. Note that newer versions may be broken as >> well. Version 3.1 is known to work. If this is the version on your system, >> then you may skip the next step. Otherwise, download the [v3.1 tarball][03], >> unpack it, cd to the archive root and run: $ sudo pip uninstall pexpect $ sudo python setup.py install Install MMGen: $ git clone https://github.com/mmgen/mmgen.git $ cd mmgen; sudo ./setup.py install Install vanitygen (optional but recommended): $ sudo apt-get install libpcre3-dev $ git clone https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen.git $ cd vanitygen; make (copy the "keyconv" executable to your path) Install bitcoind: > To install prebuilt binaries, click [here][01]. To install from source, > click [here][02]. **NB:** If your offline machine is already disconnected from the Internet, do the following: > From your online machine, download the 'python-pip' package from Debian or > Ubuntu and the Python packages from pypi.python.org/pypi/<packagename>. > Transfer these files and the git repositories you've cloned to your offline > computer using a USB stick or other means at your disposal. Now install > 'python-pip' with 'sudo dpkg -i', unpack each Python module and install it > using 'sudo ./setup.py install', and install MMGen and vanitygen from the > copied git repositories as described above. Congratulations, your installation is now complete! Now proceed to [**Getting Started with MMGen**][gs].
