Dash Core 0.12.0
=====================
This is the official reference wallet for Dash digital currency and comprises the backbone of the Dash peer-to-peer network. You can [download Dash Core](https://www.dash.org/downloads/) or [build it yourself](#building) using the guides below.
Running
---------------------
The following are some helpful notes on how to run Dash on your native platform.
### Unix
You need the Qt4 run-time libraries to run Dash-Qt. On Debian or Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install libqtgui4
Unpack the files into a directory and run:
- bin/32/dash-qt (GUI, 32-bit) or bin/32/dashd (headless, 32-bit)
- bin/64/dash-qt (GUI, 64-bit) or bin/64/dashd (headless, 64-bit)
### Windows
Unpack the files into a directory, and then run dash-qt.exe.
### OSX
Drag Dash-Qt to your applications folder, and then run Dash-Qt.
