Example usage to make the generated cookie group-readable: `./src/bitcoind -rpccookieperms=group`. Accepted values for `-rpccookieperms` are `[owner|group|all]`. We let `fs::perms` handle platform-specific permissions changes. ACKs for top commit: achow101: ACK 73f0a6cbd0b628675028fbd5a37eff8115e7ccfe ryanofsky: Code review ACK 73f0a6cbd0b628675028fbd5a37eff8115e7ccfe. Main change since last review is no longer throwing a skip exception in the rpc test on windows, so other checks can run after it, and overall test result is passing, not skipped. Also were clarifying renames and documentation improvements. tdb3: cr ACK 73f0a6cbd0b628675028fbd5a37eff8115e7ccfe Tree-SHA512: e800d59a44aca10e1c58ca69bf3fdde9f6ccf5eab4b7b962645af6d6bc0cfa3a357701e409c8c60d8d7744fcd33a91e77ada11790aa88cd7811ef60fab86ab11
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.
