DigiByte Core
=============
Setup
---------------------
DigiByte Core is the original DigiByte client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of DigiByte 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 DigiByte Core, visit [digibyte.org](https://digibyte.org/en/download/).
Running
---------------------
The following are some helpful notes on how to run DigiByte Core on your native platform.
### Unix
Unpack the files into a directory and run:
- `bin/digibyte-qt` (GUI) or
- `bin/digibyted` (headless)
### Windows
Unpack the files into a directory, and then run digibyte-qt.exe.
### macOS
Drag DigiByte Core to your applications folder, and then run DigiByte Core.
