## Install Bitcoind and other supported coin daemons
|
||||
|
||||
The bitcoin daemon on the **offline computer** is used solely to sign
|
||||
transactions and runs without a blockchain. Thus even a low-powered computer
|
||||
such as a Raspberry Pi or an old netbook can serve nicely as your offline
|
||||
machine.
|
||||
|
||||
The bitcoin daemon on the **online computer** requires a complete and
|
||||
up-to-date blockchain for tracking addresses. Since its work is more CPU and
|
||||
disk intensive, a more powerful computer is required here. You’ll also need
|
||||
plenty of free disk space for the growing blockchain (~265GB at the time of
|
||||
writing).
|
||||
|
||||
Two blockchain operations are especially resource-intensive: **synchronizing
|
||||
the blockchain** and **importing existing addresses with balances**. If you
|
||||
synchronize often (once a week, for example) and take care to import your
|
||||
addresses **before** spending into them, then it’s possible to get by with a
|
||||
more low-powered computer as your online machine.

### <a id="a_d">Download:</a>
|
||||
|
||||
> **Bitcoin Core:**
|
||||
|
||||
>> Go to the Bitcoin Core download page ([here][00] or [here][01]). Choose the
|
||||
>> 32-bit or 64-bit versions appropriate for your online and offline computers.
|
||||
>> Windows users should choose the executable installer.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Bitcoin Cash Node (optional):**
|
||||
|
||||
>> If you wish to transact BCH (Bitcoin Cash Node), then download the
|
||||
>> appropriate [Bitcoin Cash Node binary][bch] for your system.
|
||||
>> Windows users should choose the executable installer.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Litecoin (optional):**
|
||||
|
||||
>> Go to the Litecoin Core [download page][lc]. Choose the 32-bit or 64-bit
|
||||
>> versions appropriate for your online and offline computers. Windows users
|
||||
>> should choose the executable installer.
|
||||
|
||||
### <a id="a_i">Install (both online and offline computers):</a>
|
||||
|
||||
> **Bitcoin Core:**
|
||||
|
||||
>> **Windows:** Run the Windows installer with the default settings.
|
||||
>> At the end of the installation process, uncheck the Run box to prevent the
|
||||
>> client from starting.
|
||||
>>
|
||||
>> **Linux, macOS:** Unpack the archive and copy the `bitcoind` and
|
||||
>> `bitcoin-cli` binaries to `/usr/local/bin`.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Bitcoin Cash Node (optional):**
|
||||
|
||||
>> **Windows:** Run the Windows installer with the default settings.
|
||||
>> At the end of the installation process, uncheck the Run box to prevent the
|
||||
>> client from starting.
|
||||
>>
|
||||
>> Navigate to `C:\Program Files\Bitcoin-Cash-Node\daemon` and rename the file
|
||||
>> `bitcoind` to `bitcoind-bchn` and `bitcoin-cli` to `bitcoin-cli-bchn`.
|
||||
>>
|
||||
>> **Linux, macOS:** Unpack the archive, rename `bitcoind` to `bitcoind-bchn`,
|
||||
>> and `bitcoin-cli` to `bitcoin-cli-bchn`, and copy the renamed files to
|
||||
>> `/usr/local/bin`.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Litecoin (optional):**
|
||||
|
||||
>> **Windows:** Run the Windows installer with the default settings.
|
||||
>> At the end of the installation process, uncheck the Run box to prevent the
|
||||
>> client from starting.
|
||||
>>
|
||||
>> **Linux, macOS:** Unpack the archive and copy the `litecoind` and
|
||||
>> `litecoin-cli` binaries to `/usr/local/bin`.
|
||||
|
||||
### <a id="a_r">Run (both online and offline computers):</a>
|
||||
|
||||
> **Windows:**
|
||||
|
||||
>> In the Windows command-line environment processes don’t fork to run in the
|
||||
>> background, so to run multiple daemons simultaneously you must start each
|
||||
>> one in a separate terminal window. Start your daemons like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
# Bitcoin Core:
|
||||
$ bitcoind
|
||||
|
||||
# Bitcoin Cash Node:
|
||||
$ mkdir $APPDATA/Bitcoin-Cash-Node
|
||||
$ bitcoind-bchn --listen=0 --rpcport=8432 --datadir=$APPDATA/Bitcoin-Cash-Node --usecashaddr=0
|
||||
|
||||
# Litecoin
|
||||
$ litecoind
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
>> Note that the `--listen=0` argument is required only when running Bitcoin
|
||||
>> Core and Bitcoin Cash Node simultaneously.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Linux, macOS:**
|
||||
|
||||
>> Linux and macOS users start their daemons like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
# Bitcoin Core:
|
||||
$ bitcoind --daemon
|
||||
|
||||
# Bitcoin Cash Node:
|
||||
$ mkdir ~/.bitcoin-bchn
|
||||
$ BCH_DATADIR="$HOME/.bitcoin-bchn" # Linux
|
||||
$ BCH_DATADIR="$HOME/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin-Cash-Node" # macOS
|
||||
$ bitcoind-bchn --daemon --listen=0 --rpcport=8432 --usecashaddr=0 --datadir="$BCH_DATADIR"
|
||||
|
||||
# Litecoin:
|
||||
$ litecoind --daemon
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> Communicate with your daemons like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
# Bitcoin Core:
|
||||
$ bitcoin-cli help
|
||||
|
||||
# Bitcoin Cash Node:
|
||||
$ BCH_DATADIR="$HOME/.bitcoin-bchn" # Linux
|
||||
$ BCH_DATADIR="$HOME/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin-Cash-Node" # macOS
|
||||
$ bitcoin-cli-bchn --rpcport=8432 --datadir="$BCH_DATADIR" help
|
||||
|
||||
# Litecoin:
|
||||
$ litecoin-cli help
|
||||
```

> If you’re connected to the Internet, the daemon(s) will begin downloading and
|
||||
> verifying the blockchain. This can take from several hours to several days
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
> For the offline daemons you may add the options `-maxconnections=0 -listen=0`
|
||||
> to the command line. Note that offline daemons start very quickly, since they
|
||||
> have a blockchain consisting of one block, and use practically no CPU power
