bitcoind and bitcoin-cli 'unrecognized', how can I access them from command line? I have downloaded and installed the precompiled Bitcoin Core OS-X (also successfully synchronized).  Every tutorial I have seen then directs one to begin using the executables bitcoind and bitcoin-cli. Unfortunately, these are unrecognized.  

I've found this on the stack exchange as using Help-&gt;Debug Window which is incredibly helpful but I'm thinking it would be more advantageous to be able to run processes from command line...

Is it as simple as a missing symlink or something?  Or do I need to install from source in order to access these executables?
Bitcoin Core does not include bitcoind or bitcoin-cli. You can use the "debug" window to input the same commands there, or use  Homebrew to install bitcoind and its related tools bitcoin-cli and bitcoin-tx directly.

brew tap WyseNynja/homebrew-bitcoin
brew update
brew install bitcoind


This will download, compile, and install the most recent version of the daemon and the tools. The homebrew script used to do that is viewable on github. To keep up with new versions of Bitcoin Core that are released every few months, brew update &amp;&amp; brew upgrade will check for new releases and rebuild if necessary.
