<p>You can interact with Monero via desktop GUI, commandline interface, and programming API.</p>
|
|
<p>On top of that, Monero nodes interact with each other in a peer-to-peer network.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="installation-directory-overview">Installation directory overview<a class="headerlink" href="#installation-directory-overview" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Once unpacked you will see several executable files. You will also find a nice PDF guide for the GUI wallet.</p>
|
|
<p>Monero project nicely decouples network node logic from wallet logic.
|
|
Wallet logic is offered through three independent user interfaces - the GUI, the CLI, and the HTTP API.</p>

<p>There are quite a few ways you can interact with Monero software.
|
|
Perhaps the most surprising for newcomers is that <code>monerod</code> daemon accepts interactive keyboard commands while it is running.</p>
|
|
<p>Also, please note that HTTP API is split across <code>monerod</code> and <code>monero-wallet-rpc</code>. You need to run and call both daemons to explore the full API.
|
|
This follows the node-logic vs wallet-logic split mentioned earlier.</p>
|
|
<p>All wallet implementations depend on the <code>monerod</code> running.</p>

|
|
<p>This is where the blockchain, log files, and p2p network memory are stored.</p>
|
|
<p>By default data directory is at:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>$HOME/.bitmonero/</code> on Linux and macOS</li>
|
|
<li><code>C:\ProgramData\bitmonero\</code> on Windows</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Please mind:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>data directory is hidden as per OS convention</li>
|
|
<li>the <code>bitmonero</code> directory name is historical artefact from before Monero forked away from Bitmonero, about 2000 years Before Christ</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Data directory contains:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>lmdb/</code> - the blockchain database directory</li>
|
|
<li><code>p2pstate.bin</code> - saved memory of discovered and rated peers</li>
|
|
<li><code>bitmonero.log</code> - log file</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>It can also contain subdirectories for stagenet and testnet, mirroring the same structure:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>stagenet/</code> - data directory for Stagenet</li>
|
|
<li><code>testnet/</code> - data directory for Testnet</li>
