## Pre-production warning

This software is a pre-release version which has not yet been audited and therefore should not yet be trusted to generate keys with the intent of securing actual ETH.

## Tutorial for users

### Build requirements

- [Python **3.7+**](https://www.python.org/about/gettingstarted/)
- [pip3](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/)

### For Linux or MacOS users

#### Option 1. Download binary executable file

##### Step 1. Installation

See [releases page](https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-deposit-cli/releases) to download and decompress the corresponding binary files.

##### Step 2. Create keys and `deposit_data-*.json`

Run the following command to enter the interactive CLI:

```sh
./deposit
```

You can also run the tool with optional arguments:

```sh
./deposit --num_validators=<NUM_VALIDATORS> --mnemonic_language=english --chain=<CHAIN_NAME> --folder=<YOUR_FOLDER_PATH>
```

###### Arguments

You can use `--help` flag to see all arguments.

| Argument | Type | Description |
| -------- | -------- | -------- |
| `--num_validators`  | Non-negative integer | The number of signing keys you want to generate. Note that the child key(s) are generated via the same master key. |
| `--mnemonic_language` | String. Options: `czech`, `chinese_traditional`, `chinese_simplified`, `english`, `spanish`, `italian`, `korean`. Default to `english` | The mnemonic language |
| `--folder` | String. Pointing to `./validator_keys` by default | The folder path for the keystore(s) and deposit(s) |
| `--chain` | String. `mainnet` by default | The chain setting for the signing domain. |

###### Successful message

You will see the following messages after successfully generated the keystore(s) and the deposit(s):

```
Creating your keys.
Saving your keystore(s).
Creating your deposit(s).
Verifying your keystore(s).
Verifying your deposit(s).

Success!
Your keys can be found at: <YOUR_FOLDER_PATH>
```

#### Option 2. Build `deposit-cli` with native Python

##### Step 0. Python version checking

Ensure you are using Python version >= Python3.7:

```sh
python3 -V
```

##### Step 1. Installation

Install the dependencies:

```sh
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 setup.py install
```

Or use the helper script:

```sh
./deposit.sh install
```

##### Step 2. Create keys and `deposit_data-*.json`

Run the following command to enter the interactive CLI:

```sh
./deposit.sh
```

You can also run the tool with optional arguments:

```sh
./deposit.sh --num_validators=<NUM_VALIDATORS> --mnemonic_language=english --chain=<CHAIN_NAME> --folder=<YOUR_FOLDER_PATH>
```

###### Arguments
See [here](#arguments)

###### Successful message
See [here](#successful-message)

#### Option 3. Build `deposit-cli` with `virtualenv`

##### Step 0. Python version checking

Ensure you are using Python version >= Python3.7:

```sh
python3 -V
```

##### Step 1. Installation

For the [virtualenv](https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/) users, you can create a new venv:

```sh
pip3 install virtualenv
virtualenv venv
./venv/bin/activate
```

and install the dependencies:

```sh
python setup.py install
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

##### Step 2. Create keys and `deposit_data-*.json`

Run the following command to enter the interactive CLI:

```sh
python ./eth2deposit/deposit.py
```

You can also run the tool with optional arguments:

```sh
python ./eth2deposit/deposit.py --num_validators=<NUM_VALIDATORS> --mnemonic_language=english --chain=<CHAIN_NAME> --folder=<YOUR_FOLDER_PATH>
```

###### Arguments
