I have been having a very exhausting time struggling by way of set up. The issue is there appear to be two methods to put in, one by way of a obtain hyperlink and one by way of src. Nonetheless, each strategies nonetheless have many issues and the dependencies are unclear. I defined the specifics of the issue on GitHub.

I hoped that I might be capable to obtain bitcoin from GitHub, enter the src file, and run ./bitcoind or ./bitcoin-qt -server to have the ability to run in prune mode. Nonetheless, I’m nonetheless getting errors. For instance,

IN:

./bitcoin-qt -server

OUT:

zsh: killed     ./bitcoin-qt -server

I’m not capable of obtain the entire blockchain at 500 GB, however I would like to make use of the bitcoin-cli. My thought was operating ./bitcoin-qt -server would permit me to prune the obtain as defined on StackExchange and function bitcoin-cli, with out having to run bitcoind first.

Questions

1. Is operating bitcoind essential to run bitcoin-cli?
2. Is it potential to run bitcoin-cli with out downloading all the
   blockchain?
3. What’s the cleanest path to getting began with bitcoin-cli on macOS?
