Setting up a Bitcoin full node
A Bitcoin full node can be set up for development purposes, or just to enable a user to be a part of the Bitcoin network in order to validate or explore the transactions. The user has to set up all the tools, libraries, and dependent applications they may need if they want to set up a complete development environment, whereas a Bitcoin node can be set up without much effort just by installing the software.
