182de7ba10811ec39e24ec5bec7cd2119f776f2f ci: update minimum compiler requirements for std::filesystem (fanquake) 04f5bafb7b7d3f86a5db3047a77591e0ec272e68 doc: update minimum compiler requirements for std::filesystem (fanquake) Pull request description: This increases the minimum required compiler versions to Clang 7 and GCC 8.1. This has been split out of #20744 (migration to `std::filesystem`), as it's also a requirement for some other changes, such as #20452 or #20457 which want to make use of `std::from_chars`. As well as #20435, which is also `std::filesystem` related. Given that the `std::filesystem` changes are moving ahead, splitting out this change to let other PRs take advantage of the new requirements seems worthwhile. Clang 7 has been available in Debian since [Stretch (oldoldstable)](https://packages.debian.org/stretch/clang-7) and in Ubuntu since [Bionic (18.04)](https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic-updates/clang-7). GCC 8 has been available in Debian since [Buster (oldstable)](https://packages.debian.org/buster/gcc) and in Ubuntu since [Bionic (18.04)](https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/gcc-8). CentOS 8 also packages GCC 8. The CI changes here give us one build with GCC 8, and another using Clang 7 on top of libc++. Note that the minimum required libc++ in dependencies.md is unchanged as, at least for `<filesystem>`, and the `*_chars` use cases, libc++ 7 [should be sufficient](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support/17). I've tested that building `<filesystem>` code using Clang 7 & libc++ works. i.e `clang++-7 -std=c++17 fs.cpp -stdlib=libc++ -lc++fs`. Also that building `<filesystem>` code with Clang 7 and libstdc++ 8 works. i.e `clang++-7 -std=c++17 fs.cpp -lstdc++fs`.

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 requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. 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.
Running
The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.
Unix
Unpack the files into a directory and run:
bin/bitcoin-qt(GUI) orbin/bitcoind(headless)
Windows
Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.
macOS
Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
