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 for older versions), 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 datadir 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 10.10+, and Windows 7 and newer. It is not recommended
|
||||
to use Bitcoin Core on unsupported systems.
|
||||
|
||||
Bitcoin Core should also work on most other Unix-like systems but is not
|
||||
as frequently tested on them.
|
||||
|
||||
From Bitcoin Core 0.17.0 onwards, macOS versions earlier than 10.10 are no
|
||||
longer supported, as Bitcoin Core is now built using Qt 5.9.x which requires
|
||||
macOS 10.10+. Additionally, Bitcoin Core does not yet change appearance when
|
||||
macOS "dark mode" is activated.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to previously supported CPU platforms, this release's pre-compiled
|
||||
distribution provides binaries for the RISC-V platform.
|
||||

||||
