Usage

This Open Source Tool will help you back up and then recover your Crypto APIs Wallet in case of an emergency. It should be used together with the WaaS Backup and Recover feature in your Crypto APIs 2.0 Dashboard here. To backup your Wallet simply follow the steps bellow:

  1. Open our Open Source Recovery Tool.
  2. You would need to first generate a RSA key pair of public and private keys. For this purpose you require a password. It can be of your choosing, or you can generate a random and complex password by navigating to the “Generate Random Password” menu section.
  3. Use the selected password in the "Generate RSA key pairs" menu section. The result will be one public key and one private key. Keep that password safe as it will be needed to recover your Wallet.
  4. Navigate to your Crypto APIs 2.0 Dashboard here. If you don’t have a Wallet yet, you can create one. If you have already created your Wallet, then click on the “Back up Wallet” button. Use the public key you’ve just generated in our Open Source Recovery Tool in the two fields for the RSA key.
  5. The private key needs to be stored in a safe location, as it will be required for the recovery process of your Wallet!
  6. In the Crypto APIs 2.0 Dashboard complete the backup of your Wallet. The PDF file downloaded will have more information on the Recovery process.

Building executable files

With docker

You need to have docker installed on your machine.

Building executable files can be done with this command (script):

./bin/build.sh

Choose the OS you want to have an executable for by giving the script a parameter with the name of the OS.

./bin/build.sh linux
./bin/build.sh windows
./bin/build.sh mac

NOTE: Building executable files for macOS can be done only if the machine you are executing the script from is on macOS.

Without docker

Using the following command will build the files for the OS you are executing it from

npm run build

If you want to build files for a specific OS you can use either of these scripts

npm run dist:linux
npm run dist:windows
npm run dist:mac

NOTE: Building executable files without docker requires for the machine to be on the same OS or to have the necessary packages installed.

Packages

Packages are located in dist folder

The file types that you get are as follows:

  • For linux you will get .AppImage file
  • For windows you will get .exe file
  • For macOS you will get .dmg file
