## Compiling from source

#### Pre-requisites
* Rust v1.37 or higher.
    * Run `rustup update` to get the latest version of Rust if you already have it installed

```
git clone https://github.com/adityapk00/lightwalletclient.git
cargo build --release
./target/release/zeclite-cli
```

## Options
CLI arguments you can pass to `zeclite-cli`

* `--server`: Connect to a custom zeclite lightwalletd server. 
    * Example: `./zeclite-cli --server 127.0.0.1:9067`
* `--seed`: Restore a wallet from a seed phrase. Note that this will fail if there is an existing wallet. Delete (or move) any existing wallet to restore from the 24-word seed phrase
    * Example: `./zeclite-cli --seed "twenty four words seed phrase"`

## Notes:
* The wallet is currently testnet only
* If you want to run your own server, please see [zeclite lightwalletd](https://github.com/adityapk00/lightwalletd), and then run `./zeclite-cli --server 127.0.0.1:9067`
* Support for reorgs is iffy. It your wallet gets into an inconsistent state, type `rescan` to reset the wallet. 
* The log file is in `~/.zcash/testnet3/zeclite.debug.log`
