Clam Core is the original clam client and it builds the backbone of the network. However, it downloads and stores the entire history of Clam transactions (which is currently several GBs); depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more. Thankfully you only have to do this once. If you would like the process to go faster you can download the blockchain directly.
The following are some helpful notes on how to run Clam on your native platform.
You need the Qt4 run-time libraries to run Clam-Qt. On Debian or Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install libqtgui4
Unpack the files into a directory and run:
- bin/32/clam-qt (GUI, 32-bit) or bin/32/clamd (headless, 32-bit)
- bin/64/clam-qt (GUI, 64-bit) or bin/64/clamd (headless, 64-bit)
Unpack the files into a directory, and then run clam-qt.exe.
Drag Clam-Qt to your applications folder, and then run Clam-Qt.

- Ask for help on #clams on Freenode. If you don't have an IRC client use webchat here.
- Ask for help on the BitcoinTalk forums, in the Technical Support board.
