A few more build issues came up (and have been fixed) since, and after discussing with sipa it was decided I would open a PR to shepherd any final changes through. > This adds a `src/minisketch` subtree, taken from the master branch of https://github.com/sipa/minisketch, to prepare for Erlay implementation (see #21515). It gets configured for just supporting 32-bit fields (the only ones we're interested in in the context of Erlay), and some code on top is added: > * A very basic unit test (just to make sure compilation & running works; actual correctness checking is done through minisketch's own tests). > * A wrapper in `minisketchwrapper.{cpp,h}` that runs a benchmark to determine which field implementation to use. Only changes since my last update to the branch in the previous PR have been rebasing on master and fixing an issue with a header in an introduced file.

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.
