ABA Upgrading ABA Core Wallet v0.2.4 on Linux

Introduction

I recently installed the ABA Core Wallet 0.2.3 on Windows with the EXE Installer and it was awesome because it just took a few clicks. I have been learning LINUX and found that if I can figure things out, it is now my preferred way to do thinks on Chia and ABA. I want to keep my LINUX version of ABA up-to-date because it's easier to use and there are more resources and help so in this blog and VLog, I will be upgrading my Linux version of the ABA Core Wallet.

Windows Users

Here's a snapshot pic of my Windows ABA Core v0.2.3.

Before you Begin

Join Discord

Make sure you join the ABA Discord. You'll want to keep up-to-date with the annoucements. It is also the source for OFFERS, so when you create you NFTs, you'll want to post your offers there. I'm sure a NFT portal will be developed soon but recently I learned that the OGs can firmly plant their roots by participating and getting to know the team, and it all starts in their discord
