Now you are are ready to start the server that the cli sends commands to. Take a look at our [server](server.md) documentation on how to build and start the server.

### Native binaries
Bitcoin-s also supports building native executables for various platforms supported by the [graalvm native image](https://www.graalvm.org/reference-manual/native-image/) tool.
You can build by using the [native image plugin for sbt](https://github.com/scalameta/sbt-native-image). This will download the appropriate graalvm
version and the native image tool, and then build the cli
```bashrc
sbt cli/nativeImage
```
After the build is done, you can find the artifact here locally
```bashrc
app/cli/target/native-image/bitcoin-s-cli
```
We also publish native image binaries every time we merge a commit to master on github.
As an example, you can [see the artifacts](https://github.com/bitcoin-s/bitcoin-s/actions?query=workflow%3A%22Native+Image+bitcoin-s-cli%22)
in the upper right hand corner.
If you don't want to build the `bitcoin-s-cli` yourself, you can download it for your platform there.
