Run a Zcash full node

Zcashd & Zcash-cli allow you to run a full node and interact with it via a command-line interface. The zcashd full node downloads a copy of the Zcash blockchain, enforces rules of the Zcash network, and can execute all functionalities. The zcash-cli allows interactions with the node (e.g. to tell it to send a transaction).
