Getting started
NEO supports two variants of full nodes, one with a graphical user interface and another with just command-line support. The graphical user interface variant, called NEO-GUI, provides all the functionalities an end user requires. NEO-CLI is intended for developers who want to use the basic wallet functionality and APIs. It is quite straightforward to get started with either variant. We will be mostly dealing with NEO-CLI because it is more developer friendly.
