Avian Core is the Avian Network client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Avian transactions, which requires several hundred gigabytes or more of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to several days or more.
To download Avian Core, visit github.com/AvianNetwork/Avian.
The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.
Unpack the files into a directory and run:

The avian command supports subcommands like avian gui, avian node, and avian rpc exposing different functionality. Subcommands can be listed with avian help.
Unpack the files into a directory, and then run avian-qt.exe.
Drag Avian Core to your applications folder, and then run Avian Core.
