=== Compiling Bitcoin Core from the Source Code
((("Bitcoin Core", "compiling from source code", id="BCsource03")))((("Bitcoin Core", "compiling from source code", "downloading")))Bitcoin Core's source code can be downloaded as a ZIP archive or by cloning the authoritative source repository from GitHub. ((("GitHub bitcoin page")))On the https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin[GitHub bitcoin page], select Download ZIP from the sidebar. Alternatively, use the git command line to create a local copy of the source code on your system.

====
((("$ symbol")))((("shell commands")))((("terminal applications")))In many of the examples in this chapter we will be using the operating system's command-line interface (also known as a "shell"), accessed via a "terminal" application. The shell will display a prompt; you type a command; and the shell responds with some text and a new prompt for your next command. The prompt may look different on your system, but in the following examples it is denoted by a +$+ symbol. In the examples, when you see text after a +$+ symbol, don't type the +$+ symbol but type the command immediately following it, then press Enter to execute the command. In the examples, the lines below each command are the operating system's responses to that command. When you see the next +$+ prefix, you'll know it's a new command and you should repeat the process.
