Install indy-cli

Good source: https://indicio.tech/selfserve/ (Appendix A: Installing the Indy CLI)

We will use indy-cli to interact with the node. It should NOT be installed on the node itself, but on another vm/server/laptop. There you will create and store your steward and trustee keys.

The setup of an Indy-CLI can done in three different ways.

  • a) Installing it locally
  • b) Running in Docker
  • c) Installation on a server

a) Installing it locally

Follow the instructions for your OS (Windows, Mac, Linux): indy-sdk/cli

b) Running in Docker

A fast and easy way to use the docker image from British Columbia.

docker run -it bcgovimages/von-image:py36-1.15-0 indy-cli

If files like the pool_transaction_file have to be reached within the indy-cli container, they can be accessed under /home/indy/path-to-file.

c) Installation on a server/laptop

The indy-cli can also be installed on a server. This provides a more persistent and centralized solution for accessing a ledger.

For more information about installing an Indy-CLI see: Sovrin Steward Validator Preparation Guide

On the server execute the following instructions.

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys CE7709D068DB5E88 
sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-common python-software-properties 
sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://repo.sovrin.org/sdk/deb  xenial stable"
sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://repo.sovrin.org/deb  xenial stable"

sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install -y indy-cli
