Merge #14832: docs: Add more Doxygen information to Developer Notes
a62e667296 docs: Add more Doxygen information to Developer Notes (Jon Layton)

Pull request description:

  Update information about Doxygen in `doc/developer-notes.md`.

  Alternatively, this could have its own file (like `doc/web-documentation.md`), since there are installation steps included.

  For example, I had to run:
  ```
  brew install doxygen graphviz
  ```
  on MacOS, otherwise failures occurred.

  This information could also be linked to the `doc/release-process.md`.

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) or
  • bin/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.
