### 3. Install Optional Dependencies
#### Wallet Dependencies
It is not necessary to build wallet functionality to run bitcoind or the GUI. To enable legacy wallets, you must install `db5`. To enable [descriptor wallets](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/descriptors.md), `sqlite3` is required. Skip `db5` if you intend to *exclusively* use descriptor wallets
###### Legacy Wallet Support
`db5` is required to enable support for legacy wallets. Skip if you don't intend to use legacy wallets
```bash
pkg install db5
```
It is not necessary to build wallet functionality to run either `bitcoind` or `bitcoin-qt`.
###### Descriptor Wallet Support
`sqlite3` is required to enable support for descriptor wallets. Skip if you don't intend to use descriptor wallets.
`sqlite3` is required to support [descriptor wallets](descriptors.md).
Skip if you don't intend to use descriptor wallets.
``` bash
pkg install sqlite3

### 1. Configuration
There are many ways to configure Bitcoin Core, here are a few common examples:
##### Wallet (BDB + SQlite) Support, No GUI:
This explicitly enables legacy wallet support and disables the GUI. If `sqlite3` is installed, then descriptor wallet support will be built.
##### Descriptor Wallet and GUI:
This explicitly enables the GUI and disables legacy wallet support, assuming `sqlite` and `qt` are installed.
```bash
./autogen.sh
./configure --without-bdb --with-gui=yes MAKE=gmake
```
##### Descriptor & Legacy Wallet. No GUI:
This enables support for both wallet types and disables the GUI, assuming
`sqlite3` and `db5` are both installed.
```bash
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-gui=no --with-incompatible-bdb \
