1f9b2e150ce5aa192226d2daae73f7d678c47d65 cmake: Require `zip` only for `deploy` target (Hennadii Stepanov) 0aeff2995138c247f1b1f843c30eb547e199f5f7 cmake: Check for `makensis` tool before using it (Hennadii Stepanov) Pull request description: For `x86_64-w64-mingw32` and `*-apple-darwin` targets, the optional `deploy` target requires dedicated tools: `makensis` and `zip`, respectively. This PR introduces a uniform checks for those tools when attempting to build the `deploy` target, ensuring they are not required for configuring and building any other targets. Here is an example of workflow for `x86_64-w64-mingw32`: ``` $ # `nsis` is not installed $ cmake -B build -G "GNU Makefiles" --toolchain depends/x86_64-w64-mingw32/toolchain.cmake $ cmake --build build -j $(nproc) $ cmake --build build -t deploy Error: NSIS not found. Please install NSIS and/or ensure that its executable is accessible to the find_program() command— for example, by setting the MAKENSIS_EXECUTABLE variable or another relevant CMake variable. Then re-run cmake to regenerate the build system. Built target deploy $ sudo apt install nsis $ cmake -B build $ cmake --build build -t deploy ...

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 several hundred gigabytes or more of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to several days 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.
