Ethereum is a Decentralised Consensus-based Deterministic Transaction Resolution Platform.

In addition to the original whitepaper, it currently exists as a formal specification and a number of proof-of-concept codebases, of which this is one.

If you like the idea of developing on Ethereum, the best development platform currently is Ubuntu 14.04 with the QtCreator IDE. If you would like to know more about building Ethereum for your platform you'll want to inspect:

• Building on Ubuntu
• Building on Fedora 20
• Building on MacOS
• Building on Windows

Please also see the community edited page on Compatibility Info and Build Tips for other distributions and operating systems. If you have anything else to add (e.g. instructions for your favourite distribution), please add to the page and make it a useful resource!

Once built, we have several pages on usage;

• Using Ethereum CLI Client
• Using AlethZero (the Ethereum graphical interface)
• How to Configure a Server
• How to build an Local Test Net.

If you're looking to get to know the code base, you might find the Overview and TODO helpful.
