Bethel Core is the original Bethel client and it builds the backbone of the network. However, it downloads and stores the entire history of Bethel transactions (which is currently several GBs); 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.
The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bethel on your native platform.
Unpack the files into a directory and run:
bin/bethel-qt(GUI) orbin/betheld(headless)
Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bethel-qt.exe.
Drag Bethel-Core to your applications folder, and then run Bethel-Core.
