On Windows
Install Golang
- Install Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
- Nimble requires Go 1.22.1. If you already have a previous Go version installed, start by removing it
sudo apt-get remove golang-go
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go
- Once completed, open a terminal and execute the following commands
cd /usr/local
sudo wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.22.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sudo tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.22.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
go version
It should display the go version 1.22.1
Create Wallet
Note: Git is required for the remaining setup steps.
- Open a terminal
- Execute the following commands to download wallet CLI
mkdir $HOME/nimble && cd $HOME/nimble
git clone https://github.com/nimble-technology/wallet-public.git
cd wallet-public
make install
- Locate this executable command and confirm it exists
nimble-networkd
- Execute the following command to create your wallet. Give your wallet a name, such as 'ilovenimble'.
nimble-networkd keys add ilovenimble
(Type your passphrase)
(Save the seed phrase somewhere safe)
The “address: nimblexxxx” output means your Nimble Network wallet address was created successfully!
