Download the latest SUMOKOIN binaries from our official GitHub. Make sure, you choose the latest release (the one at the top). Check the “Assets” section and download the binaries for the OS you use (I use WIN 64, so I highlighted the one I download for this example).

Extract the zip-file you just downloaded into a folder of your choice (I made a dedicated folder named “Sumokoin”, located at C:\. After you are done, it should look like this:

Even though there a many different files, you only need to actively use two of them to manage your wallet: sumokoind (the daemon, the software that connects to the network and synchronises with the blockchain) and sumo-wallet-cli (the actual wallet to access your funds).

The first thing to do now, is do synchronise to the network. To do so, simply start the daemon by double-clicking sumokoind. A cmd-window will open instantly:

After a short time, the daemon will start to synchronise the blockchain to the latest block. If this is the first time you are using a full-node wallet, this may take a longer time, since the daemon needs to download the complete blockchain.

As soon as your dameon has finished synching to the latest block, you’ll get the following message: You are now synchronized with the network. You may now start sumo-wallet-cli.

Important: To actually store the blockchain, you have to type the command “save” and hit enter. If you don’t do this, the blockchain won’t be stored on your device and you’ll have to synchronise AGAIN!

Congrats! You are now synched with SUMOKOIN’s network. Now you can start sumo-wallet-cli (hint: do not close sumokoind as long as you want access your wallet!).
