CLI

Skycoin command line interface

Install

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/skycoin/skycoin/cmd/cli
$ ./install.sh

Enable command autocomplete

If you are in bash, run the following command:

$ PROG=skycoin-cli source $GOPATH/src/github.com/skycoin/skycoin/cmd/cli/autocomplete/bash_autocomplete

If you are in zsh, please replace the bash_autocomplete with zsh_autocomplete in the previous command.

To avoid run the command everytime when you start a new terminal session, you can copy the script into you ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc file.

Environment Setting

The CLI uses environment variable to manage the configurations.

RPC_ADDR

CLI will connect to skycoin node rpc address:127.0.0.1:6430 by default, you can change the address by setting the RPC_ADDR env variable with the following command:

$ export RPC_ADDR=127.0.0.1:6430

WALLET_DIR

The default CLI wallet dir is located in $HOME/.skycoin/wallets/, change it by setting the WALLET_DIR environment variable.

$ export WALLET_DIR=$HOME/YOUR_WALLET_DIR

WALLET_NAME

The default CLI wallet file name is skycoin_cli.wlt, change it by setting the WALLET_NAME env. The wallet file name must have .wlt extension.

$ export WALLET_NAME=YOUR_WALLET_NAME

Note

The [option] in subcommand must be set before the rest values, otherwise the option won't be parsed, example:

If we want to specify a change address in send command, we can use -c option, if you run the command in the following way:

$ skycoin-cli send $recipient_address $amount -c $change_address

The change coins won't go to the address as you wish, it will go to the default change address, which can be by from address or the wallet's coinbase address.

The right script should look like this:

$ skycoin-cli send -c $change_address $recipient_address $amount
