Install and use the wallet

The native GUI package contains the Parano1d wallet and its private full node. The application starts, monitors and stops that node itself. Ordinary wallet use does not require a terminal.

Choose the package

Download the GUI wallet for the computer from the GitHub release page:

Platform Package
Debian or Ubuntu, x86-64 parano1d-gui-vVERSION-linux-x86_64.deb
Debian or Ubuntu, ARM64 parano1d-gui-vVERSION-linux-aarch64.deb
Windows x86-64 parano1d-gui-vVERSION-windows-x86_64-setup.exe
macOS Apple Silicon parano1d-gui-vVERSION-macos-aarch64.dmg
macOS Intel parano1d-gui-vVERSION-macos-x86_64.dmg

Download SHA256SUMS from the same release. Verify the package before opening it:

sh
# Linux
sha256sum parano1d-gui-vVERSION-linux-x86_64.deb

# macOS
shasum -a 256 parano1d-gui-vVERSION-macos-aarch64.dmg

On Windows, use PowerShell:

powershell
Get-FileHash .\parano1d-gui-vVERSION-windows-x86_64-setup.exe -Algorithm SHA256

The digest must equal the matching line in SHA256SUMS.

Install

Linux

Open the .deb with the system Software application, or run:

sh
sudo apt install ./parano1d-gui-vVERSION-linux-x86_64.deb

Launch Parano1d from the application menu.

Windows

Run the setup program. The default install is per-user and does not require administrator privileges.

Until releases are Authenticode-signed, SmartScreen may warn about an unknown publisher. After verifying the SHA-256 digest, choose More info and Run anyway.

macOS

Open the DMG and drag Parano1d to Applications.

Until releases are notarized with an Apple Developer ID, Control-click the application, choose Open, and confirm. If macOS still blocks it, use System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway after verifying the download.

First start

The first-run screen offers three ways to establish the 256-bit master secret:

  • Generate creates a new random secret;
  • Import restores an existing 64-character hexadecimal secret;
  • Use photo deterministically derives the secret from image pixels.

Read First run and the master secret before choosing. The secret controls every derived address. It is not recoverable by the project.

Wait for the node

The top status bar shows connection and synchronization state. The wallet can display its local data while catching up, but spendable balance and current slot availability are final only when the node reports ONLINE.

The private node accepts inbound and outbound P2P traffic on TCP 9400. Ordinary wallet use works through outbound peers; allowing inbound TCP 9400 also contributes connectivity to the network.

Receive and send

The Main page shows the active address. Copy it with the adjacent copy control and give it to the sender.

To pay:

  1. open Send or press F3;
  2. paste a valid o1… address;
  3. enter the amount;
  4. review selected inputs, outputs and network fee;
  5. choose Proof & Send.

The wallet forges the private authorization locally and submits the complete intent to its node. A successful final panel shows the logical transaction ID. See Send NOID for status and confirmation behavior.

Remove the application

Removing the application does not remove wallet data.

On Debian or Ubuntu:

sh
sudo apt remove parano1d-gui

On Windows, use Installed apps → Parano1d → Uninstall. On macOS, move the application from Applications to Trash.

Wallet and node data remain under .parano1d in the user profile. Remove that directory only after exporting or backing up the master secret and any receipts you intend to keep.
