## Introduction

The following section aims to provide examples to help start building Dimecoin-based applications. To make the best use of this documentation, you may want to install the most recent version of Dimecoin Core. You can do so by running the [source](https://www.github.com/dime-coin/dimecoin) code or by using a [pre-compiled binary](https://github.com/dime-coin/dimecoin/releases/latest).

Once installed, you'll have access to three programs: `dimecoind`, `dimecoin-qt`, and `dimecoin-cli`.

* `dimecoin-qt` provides a combination full dimecoin [peer](../reference/glossary.md#peer) and [wallet](../reference/glossary.md#wallet) frontend. From the Help menu, you can access a console where you can enter the RPC commands used throughout this document.

* `dimecoind` is more useful for programming: it provides a full peer which you can interact with through RPCs to port 11931 (or 21931 for [testnet](../reference/glossary.md#testnet) / 31931 for regtest).

* `dimecoin-cli` allows you to send RPC commands to `dimecoind` from the command line.  For example, `dimecoin-cli help`
