Fortress Core is the original Fortress client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Fortress transactions, which requires approximately 22 megabytes (MB) of disk space. 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 Fortress Core (COMING SOON), visit download.fortresscorp.org.
The following are some helpful notes on how to run Fortress Core on your native platform.
Unpack the files into a directory and run:
bin/fortress-qt(GUI) orbin/fortressd(headless)
Unpack the files into a directory, and then run fortress-qt.exe.
Drag Fortress Core to your applications folder, and then run Fortress Core.
