Merge #12322: Docs: Remove step making cloned repository world-writable for Windows build. 
eeeb416 Remove suggestion to make cloned repository world-writable for Windows build. (murrayn)

Pull request description:

  Current documentation for Windows build on Ubuntu suggests cloning the repository into /usr/src, as root, and making the tree world-writable(!). I can see no problem this solves, and it introduces obvious security issues.

Tree-SHA512: 05429a64319c046f5506f7d27c64c94f94cfe6d14ec5f01dccf843fc417e954fe96e1abc43126b9204a1178f101e4a8da9eece32b5de4b348c7c9358615c7e0f

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 is currently more than 100 GBs); 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 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.

OS X

Drag Bitcoin-Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin-Core.
