How to Upgrade
|
||
|
|
==============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
|
||
|
|
shut down (which might take a few minutes in some cases), then run the
|
||
|
|
installer (on Windows) or just copy over `/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt` (on Mac)
|
||
|
|
or `bitcoind`/`bitcoin-qt` (on Linux).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Upgrading directly from a version of Bitcoin Core that has reached its EOL is
|
||
|
|
possible, but it might take some time if the data directory needs to be migrated. Old
|
||
|
|
wallet versions of Bitcoin Core are generally supported.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Compatibility
|
||
|
|
==============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Bitcoin Core is supported and extensively tested on operating systems
|
||
|
|
using the Linux kernel, macOS 10.15+, and Windows 7 and newer. Bitcoin
|
||
|
|
Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not as
|
||
|
|
frequently tested on them. It is not recommended to use Bitcoin Core on
|
||
|
|
unsupported systems.
