eSteem Surfer Tips #6. Safe Install

in #esteem6 years ago

In this series of posts we are presenting current feature set (hidden gems) that eSteem Surfer is offering. Each post includes GIF animation with explanation to guide a reader through the process of using it. Note that these features are being improved constantly, you might notice some changes/additions in future releases.

It's highly important to download and use only legitimate version of eSteem Surfer from official source. Since the code is open anyone can clone, edit and build it on it's own so the app will look absolutely as original version but may contain some hidden Virus/Trojan code stealing your keys or do any other harmful things.

Official Site

eSteem official site is https://esteem.app (we've moved recently from https://esteem.ws for a better name). So please check the spelling or open the site from this post directly.

Then click Download button and you will be scrolled down to Download section.

Then you choose Desktop and it will lead you to our official github page which is https://github.com/esteemapp/esteem-surfer/releases

You will see a list of installer files. After that you should choose proper version according to your Operation System: .exe.zip file is for Windows, .dmg file is for Mac and .deb and .rpm files are for Linux.

Mac OS

If you are on a Mac you should choose .dmg file. In this tutorial we are using 1.0.3 version but probably you will download something more fresh if future releases.

.dmg is a disk image container used on Mac OS so if you doubleclick it you will mount a disk with eSteem Surfer application inside.

Depending on your settings mounted disk could appear right on your Desktop folder or in a Finder side menu. Just open it and you will see eSteem Surfer icon which you could move into your Applications folder right inside this window.

eSteem Surfer could be launched from the Launchpad or Application folder or using Spotlight Search: just start typing eSteem there.

Mac OS Security center will show this warning. You should click Open and probably confirm the first launch with your Mac user password.

Mac os Warning

Once everything is set you will see eSteem Surfer Welcome screen. Probably with such a welcome message.

Windows

For Windows you should download eSteem.Surfer.Setup.XXX.exe.zip where XXX is the latest version number available. In this tutorial we are downloading eSteem.Surfer.Setup.1.0.3.exe.zip which is latest at the moment of creating this post.

If you will unpack the archive you will see eSteem Surfer Setup 1.0.3.exe installation file or your file may have different version number if you will download something else rather than 1.0.3. Right click on that unpacked .exe file and check the certificates. They should look like on the screenshots below:

Running the file probably will give you warning message. Windows protected your PC.

This is absolutely normal. You just have to press More info and you will see next screen showing App name and Publisher. Please make sure you see the Publisher name as Feruz Muradov. If you see it this means you can Run anyway to install it.

You will have to wait for the application to be installed depending on the power of your machine it could take up to 1-2 minutes (usually just couple of seconds).

And voila, now you get legit eSteem Surfer install.

Linux

Our Captain Obvious says if you're on any Linux you don't need such an instructions but just in case we've made it. Here we took Ubuntu 18.04 for a sample. It can easily open .deb packages since it's Debian based distributive.

Just open that downloaded file and click Install button.

After the installation progress is done you will have legitimate eSteem Surfer on your machine.

Do you guys give any replies to the question that have been asked??? I tried so many times and you never responds...that is really kind of sad! Ok, one more try is Esteem App also able to connect to the internal market of Steemit.com? How can we trade SBD to Steem???

Internal trading is not functional yet, it is in our backlog of todo things. We will implement this in near future to both eSteem Surfer and eSteem Mobile.

very nice smileys, can use without installation?

Very good information my friend is very fond of your information my friend is very fond of whatever you make @esteemapp

I salute you @good-karma , who keeps thinking about the development of the app for more perfect,,,
But in recent months #esteem application users have been less interested, and many have moved from #esteem,
Are you @good-karma ever thinking of this ,,,? Are you no more trying to better maintain #esteem users rather than updating the app for more sophisticated ...?

we are working on two fronts now, eSteem Surfer which is receiving weekly updates and eSteem Mobile which is going through some structural changes in code base so we can test it for better performance...

this app. is more developed & easy to use.
I always use it to post.

A awesome post

This posting is important for me

understand me

Thanks for ths! Now I can quit asking my kids to do my updates for me.😁 You told me quite clearly how to do it all!😘

if you updated to 1.0.5 version, from now on updates are pretty much automated, you will receive notification within app if there is new release and you can choose to install that with one click. :)

Good to know! Still hoping for a version for my Chromebook or the web version!! My laptop is so slow that I avoid using it!

Good night steemit friends wherever you are ... On this occasion I will try to discuss about the dangers of bitcoin. As cited by the international financial institutions of the international monetary fund (IMF) in recent days ...
where the IMF provides information that we should be careful with this currency because it has no legal certainty and is also vulnerable to fraud and keeps a negative risk to the financial system itself. how not, with its form of digital assets, cryptocurrency is easily misused for the crime of the financial system such as money laundering crime.

besides, the lack of a clear system, makes cryptocurrency vulnerable to malfunction that ultimately harms people who use this instrument.

In this case Andrian one of the employees explained:
"Crypto assets have potential for financial crime (fraud), security breaches and operational failures," he explained.

for that, Adrian said, governments and policymakers in various countries should begin to establish a clear policy related to cryptocurrency so that potential problems that will arise in the future can be prevented.

so for comrades who have already bought digital assets bitcoin or the like to be careful .... And who has not bought should undo your intention, before you regret in the future ...

BITCOIN MANY DECEPTING AND I AM ONE OF THE VICTIMS ...

No doubt the app is wonderful. I am using the desktop version. I was about to develop my own app because I missed so many features on Steemit. Glad I found this app before I started. To get everyone involved I have even written some posts on the features I like and use most.

What kind of bugs me is:
You write a great manual on installing, which is very helpful, many people got a little worried when the operation systems started to display warnings for bad software. But why o why are you using the github screenshot of version 1.0.3 while 1.0.5 has been released already and doesn't use the exact same filenames? This can confuse people again.

this app. is more developed & easy to use.
I always use it to post.

Wow I am back and Ready. So I can get an app online about Steemit. I'm downloading one now

i have installed esteem on my pc but i can not find and use its, this app as in block by defense system on my windows pc

Can you share some details here or on our Discord, moderators will follow up with this issue? Thank you!

Good information for us. Thank you @esteemapp it is too good estem-tip useful for us. Salam from @alfajri78

A small suggestion coming from somebody who is not really computer minded.

So last week I wanted to download the desktop version...and coming into the .exe ... .zip tar.gz , .rpm options kind of made my brain not wanting to install anything.

Maybe it would be good to rename these newby-friendly? Just a user suggestion!

We have section in every release post about which file is for which operating system, I hope it has been helpful...

I did find it in the end, thank you!

Terima kasih #esteem.

I just downloaded to my laptop so it does not open on chrome or mozilla but on it's own? I am glad I have the esteemapp on my cellphone and tablet but I am glad you finally have it on desktop easier for me to type thanks!

thats an awesome animation i check the list of installer files there is no zip file and thats also not working eSteem.Surfer.Setup.1.0.3.exe.zip

I recently updated and it sure was quite great :)
