Bitcoin Core
=============
Below are notes on installing Bitcoin Core software on Linux systems.
General Runtime Requirements
----------------------------
Bitcoin Core requires glibc (GNU C Library) 2.31 or newer.
GUI Runtime Requirements
------------------------
The GUI executable, `bitcoin-qt`, is based on the Qt 6 framework and uses the `xcb` QPA (Qt Platform Abstraction) platform plugin
to run on X11. Its runtime library dependencies are as follows:
- `libfontconfig`
- `libfreetype`
On Debian, Ubuntu, or their derivatives, you can run the following command to ensure all dependencies are installed:
```sh
sudo apt install libfontconfig1 libfreetype6
```
On Fedora, run:
```sh
sudo dnf install fontconfig freetype
```
For other systems, please consult their documentation.
