## Mac OS X Instructions
### Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.x
*Instructions for Bitcoin Core 0.11.0 on Mac OS X Yosemite*
Go to the [Bitcoin Core download page](/en/download) and verify you have
made a secure connection to the server.
![Verify secure connection](/img/full-node/en-osx-safari-secure-connection.png)
Click the large blue *Download Bitcoin Core* button to download the
Bitcoin Core installer to your Downloads folder.
{{verifyReleaseSignatures}}
After downloading the file to your Downloads folder
(`/Users/<YOUR USER NAME>/Downloads`), run it by double-clicking
its icon. OS X will open a Finder window for you to drag *Bitcoin Core* to your
Applications folder.

#### Bitcoin Core GUI {#osx-gui}

The first time running *Bitcoin Core*, Max OS X will ask you to confirm that
you want to run it:
![Mac OS X File Security Dialog](/img/full-node/en-osx-security.png)
You will be prompted to choose a directory to store the Bitcoin block
chain and your wallet. Unless you have a separate partition or drive
you want to use, click Ok to use the default.
![Bitcoin Core Welcome](/img/full-node/en-osx-welcome-to-bitcoin-core.png)
Bitcoin Core GUI will begin to download the block chain. This
step will take at least several hours, and it may take a day or more on
a slow Internet connection or with a slow computer. During the
download, Bitcoin Core will use a significant part of your connection
bandwidth. You can stop Bitcoin Core at any time by closing it; it will
resume from the point where it stopped the next time you start it.
![Bitcoin Core Initial Block Download](/img/full-node/en-osx-ibd.png)
After download is complete, you may use Bitcoin Core as your wallet or
you can just let it run to help support the Bitcoin network.

*Optional: Start Your Node At Login*
Starting your node automatically each time you login to your computer
makes it easy for you to contribute to the network. The easiest way
to do this is to tell Bitcoin Core GUI to start at login.
While running Bitcoin Core GUI, open the Bitcoin Core menu and choose
Preferences. On the Main tab, click *Start Bitcoin on system login*. Click
the Ok button to save the new settings.

The next time you login to your desktop, Bitcoin Core GUI will be
automatically started minimized in the task bar.

you what we need.
