# `monero-wallet-gui` - Reference
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
### Desktop GUI wallet
|
||||
|
||||
The "official" desktop wallet for Monero. Available for Linux, macOS and Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
Wallet uses your private keys to understand your total balance,
|
||||
transactions history, and to facilitate creating transactions.
|
||||
|
||||
However, wallet does not store the blockchain and does not directly participate in the p2p network.
|
||||
|
||||
### Depends on the full node
|
||||
|
||||
Wallet connects to [full node](/interacting/monerod-reference) to scan the blockchain for your transaction outputs and to send your transactions out to the network.
|
||||
|
||||
The full node can be either local (same computer) or remote.
|
||||
|
||||
Normally, you run the full node on the same computer as wallet (or within your home network).
|
||||
|
||||
Connection happens over HTTP and uses [this API](https://www.getmonero.org/resources/developer-guides/wallet-rpc.html).
|
||||
|
||||
Any transaction leaving the wallet is already blinded by all Monero privacy features.
|
||||
This means plain text HTTP communication isn't an issue on its own even if you connect to a remote node.
|
||||
|
||||
However, connecting to a remote node has other nuanced trade-offs, which is a topic for a separate article. TODO: write an article or link the best available source.
|
||||
|
||||
### User guide PDF
|
||||
|
||||
A nice PDF guide is available in the catalog you unpacked Monero. Make sure to check it out!

||||

The online living version is also available:<br />

|
||||
|
||||
## Syntax
|
||||
|
||||
`./monero-wallet-gui [options]`
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
`./monero-wallet-gui --log-file=/dev/null`
|
||||
|
||||
## Running
|
||||
|
||||
Go to directory where you unpacked Monero.
|
||||
|
||||
Run the full node and wait until it syncs up with the network (may take up to a few days):
|
||||
|
||||
`./monerod`
|
||||
|
||||
In a separate terminal window, run the wallet:
|
||||
|
||||
`./monero-wallet-gui`
|
||||
|
||||
## Options
