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!
