+Infrastructure to build Bitcoin and blockchain-based applications for the next generation of financial technology.
-A pure and powerful JavaScript Bitcoin library.
+## Getting Started
-## Principles
+Install with Node.js
-Bitcoin is a powerful new peer-to-peer platform for the next generation of financial technology. The decentralized nature of the Bitcoin network allows for highly resilient bitcoin infrastructure, and the developer community needs reliable, open-source tools to implement bitcoin apps and services.
-
-## Get Started
-
-```
-npm install bitcore
+```bash
+npm install -g bitcore
```
-Using it in Node.js:
+Install for web browsers:
-```javascript
+```bash
+bower install bitcore
+```
+
+Spin up a full node and join the network:
+
+```bash
+npm install -g bitcore
+bitcore init mynode
+cd mynode
+bitcore start
+```
+
+Create a transaction:
+```js
var bitcore = require('bitcore');
-
-assert(bitcore.Address.isValid('126vMmY1fyznpZiFTTnty3cm1Rw8wuheev'));
-var simpleTx = new bitcore.Transaction();
-var simpleTx.from(unspent).to(address, amount);
-simpleTx.sign(privateKey);
+var transaction = new bitcore.Transaction();
+var transaction.from(unspent).to(address, amount);
+transaction.sign(privateKey);
```
