NewYorkCoin is the reference NewYorkCoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. However, it downloads and stores the entire history of NewYorkCoin 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 NewYorkCoin on your native platform.

You need the Qt4 run-time libraries to run NewYorkCoin-Qt. On Debian or Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install libqtgui4

Unpack the files into a directory and run:

• bin/32/newyorkcoin-qt (GUI, 32-bit) or bin/32/newyorkcoind (headless, 32-bit)
• bin/64/newyorkcoin-qt (GUI, 64-bit) or bin/64/newyorkcoind (headless, 64-bit)

Unpack the files into a directory, and then run newyorkcoin-qt.exe.

Drag NewYorkCoin-Qt to your applications folder, and then run NewYorkCoin-Qt.
