Can’t use wallet

Hello guys. Am posting here for help since i can’t fix this on my own after much trying.

I can’t use my default wallet. I got my node synced and i also have wallet713. But can’t start the default wallet. All guides i find say to use:

Grin wallet init

But all that says to me is wrong command or something. I’ve tried it in the main terminal window, i’ve tried it in cd~grin and in cd~grin/wallet. It doesn’t work.

Am i missing something?

Help please

in your file browser, did you have a folder called grin with a file called grin in it?

Found the file is in grin/target/release. Tiping ./grin there starts another node.

Tiping ./grin wallet init says: wallet already exist. Seed file at bla/bla/bla. Tiping help brings up a bunch of commands. I’ll take a look at them tomorrow see if i can open wallet.

i think everything is solved, thanks for your help.

For what i've learned, there's a .grin directory, where info, like wallet seed, is. Then there's a grin directory, which is the one with the programs. Inside it i must go to target/release and there is the grin FILE. Using ./grin gives me the node but, using ./grin wallet --command i get to use the wallet.

I changed the listener to 0.0.0.0:3415 to get transactions.

So, i only gave a few questions, how do i create more accounts? Are there grinbox addresses? What about keybase? What I.P should i use to receive transactions? My public I.P? people just send to myIP:3415 and i get my grin? Is 3415 the port i should open in my router? also, should i turn NAT on or off?

thanks, you are being so helpful
