Zorro Core

Setup

Zorro Core is the original Zorro client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Zorro transactions (which is currently more than 7 GBs); depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.

To download Zorro Core, visit cryptogera.com.

Running

The following are some helpful notes on how to run Zorro on your native platform.

Unix

Unpack the files into a directory and run:

• bin/zorro-qt (GUI) or
• bin/zorrod (headless)

Windows

Unpack the files into a directory, and then run zorro-qt.exe.

OS X

Drag Zorro-Core to your applications folder, and then run Zorro-Core.
