Create an Account

Configure the name of your key. The command below will set the name of your key to myWallet, run the below command and replace myWallet with a name of your choice:

AKASH_KEY_NAME=myWallet

Verify you have the shell variables set up . The below command should return the name you've used:

echo $AKASH_KEY_NAME

We now need to point Akash to where the keys are stored for your configuration. To do this we will set the AKASH_KEYRING_BACKEND environmental variable.

AKASH_KEYRING_BACKEND=os

Copy and paste this command into Terminal to create an Akash account:

provider-services keys add $AKASH_KEY_NAME

Read the output and save your mnemonic phrase is a safe place. Let's set a Shell Variable in Terminal AKASH_ACCOUNT_ADDRESS to save your account address for later.

export AKASH_ACCOUNT_ADDRESS="$(provider-services keys show $AKASH_KEY_NAME -a)"

echo $AKASH_ACCOUNT_ADDRESS

Note that if you close your Terminal window this variable will not be saved.
