Abstract

In this chapter we will get more practical and prepare our Raspberry Pi hardware, Bitcoin’s source code, and the C++ compiler toolchain. Our first goal will be to install and configure Raspberry’s operating system, which is a variant of Linux. Afterward, we will setup the environment for both the Bitcoin daemon and the GUI wallet application.
