CureCoin GitHub Releases has the Windows, Mac, Linux wallet downloads.
CureCoin v2.0 is a mandatory update. Older wallets need to be updated to this version (or newer) to work correctly.
If you do not use Linux, see previous section for a prebuilt wallet. There are two CureCoin Linux based clients that you can compile for yourself: one with a nice graphical interface, and one that operates entirely in the command-line. The first is highly recommended and is a good choice for most users, but expert users may prefer the command-line (headless) client instead. The GUI client is known as "curecoin-qt" and the headless client is called "curecoind". Installing either one or both is extremely simple. Just follow these directions:

Install Steps For Linux
This involves downloading the source, meeting the dependencies, compiling the code, and then installing the resulting software.
git clone https://github.com/cygnusxi/CurecoinSource.git
- sudo apt-get install qt5-default qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools qttools5-dev-tools libboost-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev libssl-dev libminiupnpc-dev libdb5.3++-dev dh-make build-essential {See: NOTES below}
- From the main directory, run the following:
- qmake && make
- sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev libqrencode-dev libssl-dev libdb5.3-dev libdb5.3++-dev libminiupnpc-dev dh-make build-essential {See: NOTES below}
- cd src
- make -f makefile.unix
- sudo make install {Alternatively, don't run that command, and just place the binary wherever you want}
- On new versions of Linux such as Ubuntu 18.04 or Debain 9, additionally install: "sudo apt-get install libssl1.0-dev"
- On older Linux versions, like Ubuntu 14.04, use: libdb4.8 or libdb5.1. Newer Ubuntu 16.04, use: libdb5.3++-dev.
sudo apt install git
sudo apt-get install qt5-default qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools qttools5-dev-tools libboost-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev libssl-dev libminiupnpc-dev libdb5.3++-dev dh-make build-essential
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install libssl1.0-dev
[Reboot] -NOTE: 'libssl1.0-dev' needs to be installed *after* installing the other dependencies at the beginning. If the dependencies at the beginning fail, then make sure you have updates enabled and the PC is fully updated.
mkdir curecoin
cd curecoin
git clone https://github.com/cygnusxi/CurecoinSource.git
cd CurecoinSource
qmake
make
./curecoin-qt
