Litecoin Core is the official full node client for the Litecoin network, serving as the backbone for the currency’s
peer-to-peer infrastructure. It is very similar to Bitcoin Core but specifically tailored for the Litecoin blockchain.
If you have found an old wallet.dat file from years ago, you might find that modern versions of the software struggle
to read it, or you might simply feel more comfortable using the specific version that was active when the wallet was
created.
Whatever your reason, you are likely looking for a way to download a specific, older version of Litecoin Core to access your funds.
Versions 0.6.9.1 and newer
If you are looking for version 0.6.9.1 or above, the process is relatively straightforward. The Litecoin project maintains an archive of binaries (executable files) for these versions on their official website: https://download.litecoin.org
Versions older than 0.6.9.1
Finding versions released prior to 0.6.9.1 is more difficult. The official download archive does not host binaries for these very early iterations of the software. To access these versions, you must visit the Litecoin project’s GitHub repository: https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin
Please note that because there are no pre-made executable files available for these versions, you will be required to download the source code and compile it yourself. This requires a certain level of technical proficiency.
