Bitcoin Core
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Setup
|
|
---------------------
|
|
Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions (which is currently more than 100 GBs); depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.
|
|
|
|
To download Bitcoin Core, visit [bitcoincore.org](https://bitcoincore.org/en/releases/).
|
|
|
|
Running
|
|
---------------------
|
|
The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin on your native platform.
|
|
|
|
### Unix
|
|
|
|
Unpack the files into a directory and run:
|
|
|
|
- `bin/bitcoin-qt` (GUI) or
|
|
- `bin/bitcoind` (headless)
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.
|
|
|
|
### OS X
|
|
|
|
Drag Bitcoin-Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin-Core.
|
|
