Hello!  
I have troubles after installing “Ubuntu 16.04.1” in a Virtual Machine on Windows 10.  
I have used the step by step guide of [github.com](http://github.com)  
After build, the command “zcashd” doesn’t work.  
I have repeat all steps max. 10 times, without success…  
Can anybody help me? .

The folder /src/zcashd is not available on my system…  
./zcash is the primary folder now

Okay… i have seen there are new requirements now…

Currently, you will need:

Linux (easiest with a Debian-based distribution)  
64-bit  
4GB of free memory

I have only 3 GB of free Memory…
