Install Bitcoin Core

Set up the Bitcoin node with Bitcoin Core

Go to the Umbrel app store and download the Bitoin Nodearrow-up-right application. This app is pretty much a wrapper of Bitcoin Core with a very nice GUI (sources herearrow-up-right).

Launch it and go through the setup by simply leaving all settings at default. Your node will now connect to remote peers to download and verify the entire blockchain.
