This section covers ZWallet CLI concepts, repository configuration, and installation.

Concepts

Wallet
A wallet is required to hold the tokens. It comes with private and public keys including a secret mnemonic key.‌
MultiSignature Wallet
A Multisignature Wallet is a wallet for which any transaction from this wallet needs to be voted by T(N) associated signer wallets. To create a Multisignature Wallet, you need to specify the number of signers (N) you want on that wallet and minimum number of votes (T) it needs for a transaction to be approved.
dStorage
Its distributed storage where all the data files are stored.‌

System requirements

To properly build components, you must have a machine setup with the following requirements:
  • Linux (Ubuntu Preferred) Version: 20.04 and Above Mac(Apple Silicon or Intel) Version: Big Sur and Above Windows : Before proceeding ,install dependencies from here.
  • 4 vCPU, 4 GB Memory at minimum
  • 4 GB of space minimum for zwallet build components .

Prerequisites

Installing and running the ZWallet requires deployment-specific dependencies to be preinstalled‌.

GoLang Binaries

Installation instructions for Go can be found here.

Build-Essential

The build essential package is required to build and make zwallet application. It includes the necessary GCC/g++ compilers and other essential critical libraries and utilities.
Run apt update command to update the packages.
sudo apt update
Get Build-essential package.
sudo apt-get install build-essential

Git

Git is required to retrieve and clone the Zbox repository. Install Git by using the command
sudo apt install git

Building ZWallet

1. Clone the Zbox Repository using the command
git clone https://github.com/0chain/zwalletcli.git
2. Navigate into Zboxcli directory using
cd zwalletcli
3. Use the make install command to compile the source code.
make install
This might take couple of minutes. Sample output after successful compiling:

Configure ZWallet network

Configuration for the Züs network by default is stored in network/config.yaml file of the zwallet github repo which we will copy to a new config.yaml file in our local system .
  1. 1.
    Make a new .zcn folder in the home directory of your system using
mkdir $HOME/.zcn
2. Copy config.yaml from network directory in zwalletcli repo to .zcn directory
cp network/config.yaml $HOME/.zcn/config.yaml
3. To verify whether the config.yaml exists and network configuration is stored properly. Check the config.yaml details using the command
nano config.yaml
4. Open the config.yaml file located at $HOME/.zcn path of your system.It should look similar to the file below.

block_worker: https://demo.zus.network/dns
signature_scheme: bls0chain
min_submit: 50
min_confirmation: 50
confirmation_chain_length: 3
max_txn_query: 5

Zwallet connects to the Züs network using the block_worker field. These network details are automatically fetched from the blockWorker's network API. Preferred Blobbers are also present which you can uncomment for using specified storage providers for handling your files.

Starting ZWallet

Start the Zbox by navigating back to ZWalletcli directory using
cd zwalletcli
and type
./zwallet
On a successful run you will see a help section like this:

Creating a Wallet

As you can see from the help menu, ZWallet CLI provides a long list of commands to use. Lets begin with creation of wallet on 0Chain decentralized network.
For creating a wallet using ZWallet. Simply run any zwallet command and it will create a wallet if none exist yet.
Here is a sample with faucet command which will create a wallet with test tokens at default location~/.zcn/wallet.json
./zwallet faucet --methodName pour --input "new wallet"
Verify the content of wallet using cat command:
cat ~/.zcn/wallet.json

Checking the wallet balance

To check whether the wallet is successfully created, verify the token balance in ZWallet using
./zwallet getbalance
Note that by default ZWallet checks balance for the wallet specified in wallet.json file located in the zcn folder in linux home directory.
Successful Response for ./zwallet getbalance command:
Balance: 1 (1.17 USD)

Getting tokens into the wallet

If getting Get balance failed.error when running ./zwallet getbalance command. Run the ./zwallet faucet --methodName pour --input "{Pay day}" command and then check the balance again.
The faucet command will get test tokens into the wallet for transactional purposes and make the wallet usable. Successful Response of the faucetcommand:
Execute faucet smart contract success
Now you have a wallet with available ZCN tokens, which can be used with 0chain blockchain and decentralized storage services.
