1. HMY CLI Download
The Harmony CLI tool is used to interact with the Harmony blockchain.
Make sure NOT to run the Node Setup with the
root user. We recommend creating a new user called harmony for the Node Setup and giving it root level access.Throughout this guide, we will use the following syntax:
./hmy: This is the CLI program./hmy.sh --: This is the command to use the CLI with a shell wrapper (for macOS)<argument>: This is a required argument[argument]: This is an optional argument/: This is a line break, used to break up a line while writing a command
curl -LO https://harmony.one/hmycli && mv hmycli hmy && chmod +x hmy
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/harmony-one/go-sdk/master/scripts/hmy.sh
chmod u+x hmy.sh
./hmy.sh -d
Now you can use
hmy.sh as a wrapper over hmy and you should assume that all references to hmy in these documents refer to hmy.sh. For example, the command ./hmy becomes ./hmy.sh -- .Note that since
hmy is not statically linked, you cannot arbitrarily move hmy.sh to anywhere on your filesystem like you could with a single binary.On Linux, calling the
cookbook would look like this:./hmy --node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io" cookbook
And on MacOS would look like:
./hmy.sh -- --node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io" cookbook
#Cookbook of Usage
#Note:
#1) Every subcommand recognizes a '--help' flag
#2) If a passphrase is used by a subcommand, one can enter their own passphrase interactively
# with the --passphrase option. Alternatively, one can pass their own passphrase via a file
# using the --passphrase-file option. If no passphrase option is selected, the default
# passphrase of '' is used.
#3) These examples use Shard 0 of Open Staking Network as argument for --node
#Examples:
#1. Check account balance on given chain
./hmy --node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io" balances <SOME_ONE_ADDRESS>
#2. Check sent transaction
./hmy --node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io" blockchain transaction-by-hash <SOME_TX_HASH>
#3. List local account keys
./hmy keys list
#4. Sending a transaction (waits 40 seconds for transaction confirmation)
./hmy --node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io" transfer \
--from <SOME_ONE_ADDRESS> --to <SOME_ONE_ADDRESS> \
--from-shard 0 --to-shard 1 --amount 200 --passphrase
#5. Sending a batch of transactions as dictated from a file (the `--dry-run` options still apply)
./hmy --node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io" transfer --file <PATH_TO_JSON_FILE>
#Check README for details on json file format.
#6. Check a completed transaction receipt
./hmy --node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io" blockchain transaction-receipt <SOME_TX_HASH>
#7. Import an account using the mnemonic. Prompts the user to give the mnemonic.
./hmy keys recover-from-mnemonic <ACCOUNT_NAME>
#8. Import an existing keystore file
./hmy keys import-ks <PATH_TO_KEYSTORE_JSON>
#9. Import a keystore file using a secp256k1 private key
./hmy keys import-private-key <secp256k1_PRIVATE_KEY>
#10. Export a keystore file's secp256k1 private key
./hmy keys export-private-key <ACCOUNT_ADDRESS> --passphrase
#11. Generate a BLS key then encrypt and save the private key to the specified location.
./hmy keys generate-bls-key --bls-file-path <PATH_FOR_BLS_KEY_FILE>
#12. Create a new validator with a list of BLS keys
./hmy --node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io" staking create-validator --amount 10 --validator-addr <SOME_ONE_ADDRESS> \
--bls-pubkeys <BLS_KEY_1>,<BLS_KEY_2>,<BLS_KEY_3> \
--identity foo --details bar --name baz --max-change-rate 0.1 --max-rate 0.1 --max-total-delegation 10 \
--min-self-delegation 10 --rate 0.1 --security-contact Leo --website harmony.one --passphrase
#13. Edit an existing validator
./hmy --node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io" staking edit-validator \
--validator-addr <SOME_ONE_ADDRESS> --identity foo --details bar \
--name baz --security-contact EK --website harmony.one \
--min-self-delegation 0 --max-total-delegation 10 --rate 0.1\
--add-bls-key <SOME_BLS_KEY> --remove-bls-key <OTHER_BLS_KEY> --passphrase
#14. Delegate an amount to a validator
./hmy --node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io" staking delegate \
--delegator-addr <SOME_ONE_ADDRESS> --validator-addr <VALIDATOR_ONE_ADDRESS> \
--amount 10 --passphrase
#15. Undelegate to a validator
./hmy --node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io" staking undelegate \
--delegator-addr <SOME_ONE_ADDRESS> --validator-addr <VALIDATOR_ONE_ADDRESS> \
--amount 10 --passphrase
#16. Collect block rewards as a delegator
./hmy --node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io" staking collect-rewards \
--delegator-addr <SOME_ONE_ADDRESS> --passphrase
#17. Check elected validators
./hmy --node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io" blockchain validator elected
#18. Get current staking utility metrics
./hmy --node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io" blockchain utility-metrics
#19. Check in-memory record of failed staking transactions
./hmy --node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io" failures staking
#20. Check which shard your BLS public key would be assigned to as a validator
./hmy --node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io" utility shard-for-bls 2d61379e44a772e5757e27ee2b3874254f56073e6bd226eb8b160371cc3c18b8c4977bd3dcb71fd57dc62bf0e143fd08
Frequently encountered errors:
./hmy cookbook
-bash: ./hmy: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
#Make sure you downloaded the right version for your OS.
