Ubuntu 16.04 is recommended to run Pchain

Installing from PPA, or (If you want to become Pchain validator, we recommend you to install from release)

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:pchainorg/pchain
sudo apt update
sudo apt install pchain

You should now be able to check the different options and commands with 'pchain --help'.

Upgrade the latest version of 'pchain'

sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade
install from release
