# Path to your bitcoin application and path to the config above
/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt.app/Contents/MacOS/Bitcoin-Qt -datadir=/Users/username/blockchains/bitcoin-core/networks/mainnet/npm run nodeBitcore will begin using your blockchain nodes to synchronize its own database so that you can use standardized queries to get data from each of your supported blockchains.
