=nil; CLI usage

There are several steps that need to be completed before using the =nil; CLI.

Create a new config file​

To create a config file for the =nil; CLI:

nil_cli config init

Set the RPC endpoint​

Initially, the =nil; CLI is unaware of the RPC endpoint for interacting with the cluster.

To set the RPC endpoint:

nil_cli config set rpc_endpoint NIL_ENDPOINT

Create a new private key​

Creating a new private key is the next logical step before creating a new wallet.

nil_cli keygen new

Create a new wallet​

At this point, the only remaining action is to create a new wallet:

nil_cli wallet new

After running this command, the =nil; CLI should be fully ready to interact with the cluster.
