==== Configuring the Bitcoin Core Build
The source code includes documentation, which can be found in a number of files. Review the main documentation located in _README.md_ in the _bitcoin_ directory by typing ++**more README.md**++ at the prompt and using the space bar to progress to the next page. In this chapter, we will build the command-line bitcoin client, also known as +bitcoind+ on Linux. Review the instructions for compiling the +bitcoind+ command-line client on your platform by typing ++**more doc/build-unix.md**++. Alternative instructions for macOS and Windows can be found in the _doc_ directory, as _build-osx.md_ or _build-windows.md_, respectively.

Carefully review the build prerequisites, which are in the first part of the build documentation. These are libraries that must be present on your system before you can begin to compile bitcoin. If these prerequisites are missing, the build process will fail with an error. If this happens because you missed a prerequisite, you can install it and then resume the build process from where you left off. Assuming the prerequisites are installed, you start the build process by generating a set of build scripts using the _autogen.sh_ script.
