Bitcoin Core packaging

Bitcoin Core is packaged and distributed through different channels.

Advanced users can compile Bitcoin Core from source. Static binaries for Linux, as well as installers for Windows and macOS are provided on the website.

Bitcoin Core is also distributed on several Linux package managers:

• The bitcoin-core snap package for https://snapcraft.io/bitcoin-core is maintained in /snap
• The org.bitcoincore.bitcoin-qt flatpak package is maintained under their organization: https://github.com/flathub/org.bitcoincore.bitcoin-qt
• The bitcoin-core guix package is maintained under https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/finance.scm
• The bitcoin gentoo package is maintained under https://gitlab.com/bitcoin/gentoo
• The /debian packaging is currently unmaintained, see #36

An RPM spec file was removed in commit fa7c698cb24bab350b40ee2d825c443dabdd9633, because is was unmaintained and outdated.
