LINUX/MAC

./wownerod

WINDOWS

wownerod.exe

The job of the Wownero daemon is to monitor the network for new transactions. You now need to open a new terminal window and run the Wownero command line wallet, which will communicate with the Wownero daemon that you’ve just stared.

LINUX/MAC

./wownero-wallet-cli

WINDOWS

wownero-wallet-cli.exe

Follow the instructions displayed to create a new wallet. When told the 25 word SEED, write this down on paper and keep it in a very safe place. Even if you forget your passwords, the 25 word SEED can be used to recreate your wallet from any machine and have complete control over your Wownero funds. Sample output from the Wownero wallet is below:

This is the command line wownero wallet. It needs to connect to a wownero
