# Chapter Three: Understanding Your Bitcoin Setup
|
|
|
|
You're now ready to begin working with the `bitcoin-cli` command-line interface. But that first requires that you understand your Bitcoin setup and its wallet features, which is what will be explained in this chapter.
|
|
|
|
For this and future chapters, we presume that you have a VPS with Bitcoin installed, running `bitcoind`. We also presume that you are connected to testnet, allowing for access to bitcoins without using real funds. You can either do this by hand, per [§2.1: Setting up a Bitcoin-Core VPS by Hand](02_1_Setting_Up_a_Bitcoin-Core_VPS_by_Hand.md) or with a Linode StackScript at Linode.com, per [§2.2: Setting up a Bitcoin-Core VPS with StackScript](02_2_Setting_Up_a_Bitcoin-Core_VPS_with_StackScript.md).
