I had a windows machine with Litecoin Wallet on it. Disk went down. So after time have recovered litecoin folder and also the litecoin.dat file.
Windows machine is non-usable at present so new machine is Linux Ubuntu 16.04
So Firstly I am struggling to get a working install of the GUI Wallet on Ubuntu 16.04, then secondly I cannot see where I would restore the liecoin.dat file from, which exists on Windows and to which directory on Linux
Any help appreciated
Thanks

Right path for wallet.dat in litecoin ubuntu is
~/.litecoin/wallet.dat or /home/{username}/.litecoin/wallet.dat
Thanks mautematico could you point me to a resource to install litecoin wallet on Ubuntu 16.04 as struggling with that and cannot seem to find much online
Cheers

I use Debian rather than Ubuntu.
But you can use this script I just worte for that propouse. It should work just fine in Ubuntu as well.
Please take a minute to read the script.
It first deletes old litecoin-qt version, if installed at /opt/litecoin
Then, it downloads v0.14.2
from official website, and extracts it to /opt/
Last, it puts uncompressed version at /opt/litecoin
After running the script, you can start litecoin by typing this on a terminal window:
/opt/litecoin/bin/litecoin-qt
Please note that, by writing files to /opt/, this script needs to be run as sudo
Hope it helps.
That’s great thanks
Works fantastic, now loading the LTC wallet
Thanks so much
Robert
