Monero Core consists of several applications, including bitmonerod (the daemon used if running a @full-node, as it maintains the connection to the Monero network) and simplewallet (a Monero @account manager application), as well as several other helper applications.
If you are using Monero Core for the first time you may want to download a @blockchain bootstrap to get you started. A link to download the @blockchain bootstrap is included in the listings below.
- Place Windows 64-bit blockchain in %AppData%/bitmonero
- Place OS X 64-bit blockchain in ~/.bitmonero
- Place Linux 64-bit blockchain in ~/.bitmonero
If you are using Monero Core for the first time you can simply download an appropriate release, and run bitmonerod to get synced up to the network.
Note: the SHA hashes are listed by the downloads for convenience, but a GPG-signed list of the hashes is at [getmonero.org/downloads/hashes.txt](https://getmonero.org/downloads/hashes.txt) and should be treated as canonical, with the signature checked against the appropriate GPG key in the source code (in /utils/gpg_keys).

Beta release of Windows 64 binaries are available for testing. It is recommended to delete your old %AppData%/bitmonero folder. You can convert your old blockchain file, but it is easier (and faster) to sync from the network.
-For @blockchain bootstraps please use the link for your current platform from the list above.
-If you'd prefer to use a blockchain bootstrap, instead of syncing up from scratch, you can [use this link for the most current bootstrap](https:////downloads.getmonero.org/blockchain.raw).
