tar -xzf turtlecoin..-mac.tar.gz

Installing on Linux

Extract the .tar.gz file:

tar -xzf turtlecoin..-linux.tar.gz

Synchronizing the Blockchain

Running TurtleCoind will start the TurtleCoind network daemon, which will connect to the network and begin downloading and verifying the TurtleCoin blockchain.

Because the blockchain is constantly growing, the file size is always increasing, and TurtleCoind must verify each block (CPU intensive).

To save time, consider downloading a cached 'bootstrap' of the blockchain (see Bootstrapping the Blockchain for more info).

Using Checkpoints

In versions 0.4.3+ you can sync a fresh chain from block 0 much quicker by using checkpoints. Follow this guide to find out how.
