# The Basecoin Tool
In previous tutorials we learned the [basics of the Basecoin
CLI](/docs/guide/basecoin-basics.md) and [how to implement a
plugin](/docs/guide/basecoin-plugins.md). In this tutorial, we provide more
details on using the Basecoin tool.
# Generate a Key
Generate a key using the `basecli` tool:
```shelldown[0]
basecli keys new mykey
ME=$(basecli keys get mykey | awk '{print $2}')
```
# Data Directory
By default, `basecoin` works out of `~/.basecoin`. To change this, set the
`BCHOME` environment variable:
```shelldown[1]
export BCHOME=~/.my_basecoin_data
basecoin init $ME
basecoin start
```
or
```shelldown[2]
BCHOME=~/.my_basecoin_data basecoin init $ME
BCHOME=~/.my_basecoin_data basecoin start
```
# ABCI Server
So far we have run Basecoin and Tendermint in a single process. However, since
we use ABCI, we can actually run them in different processes. First,
initialize them:
```shelldown[3]
basecoin init $ME
```
This will create a single `genesis.json` file in `~/.basecoin` with the
information for both Basecoin and Tendermint.
Now, In one window, run
```shelldown[4]
basecoin start --without-tendermint
```
and in another,
```shelldown[5]
TMROOT=~/.basecoin tendermint node
```
You should see Tendermint start making blocks!
Alternatively, you could ignore the Tendermint details in
`~/.basecoin/genesis.json` and use a separate directory by running:
```shelldown[6]
tendermint init
tendermint node
```
For more details on using `tendermint`, see [the guide](https://tendermint.com/docs/guides/using-tendermint).
# Keys and Genesis
In previous tutorials we used `basecoin init` to initialize `~/.basecoin` with
the default configuration. This command creates files both for Tendermint and
for Basecoin, and a single `genesis.json` file for both of them. For more
information on these files, see the [guide to using
Tendermint](https://tendermint.com/docs/guides/using-tendermint).
Now let's make our own custom Basecoin data.
First, create a new directory:
```shelldown[7]
mkdir example-data
```
We can tell `basecoin` to use this directory by exporting the `BCHOME`
environment variable:
```shelldown[8]
export BCHOME=$(pwd)/example-data
```
If you're going to be using multiple terminal windows, make sure to add this
variable to your shell startup scripts (eg. `~/.bashrc`).
Now, let's create a new key:
```shelldown[9]
basecli keys new foobar
```
The key's info can be retrieved with
```shelldown[10]
basecli keys get foobar -o=json
```
You should get output which looks similar to the following:
```json
{
"name": "foobar",
"address": "404C5003A703C7DA888C96A2E901FCE65A6869D9",
"pubkey": {
"type": "ed25519",
"data": "8786B7812AB3B27892D8E14505EEFDBB609699E936F6A4871B1983F210736EEA"
}
}
```
Yours will look different - each key is randomly derived. Now we can make a
`genesis.json` file and add an account with our public key:
```json
{
"app_hash": "",
"chain_id": "example-chain",
"genesis_time": "0001-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
"validators": [
{
"amount": 10,
"name": "",
"pub_key": {
"type": "ed25519",
"data": "7B90EA87E7DC0C7145C8C48C08992BE271C7234134343E8A8E8008E617DE7B30"
}
}
],
"app_options": {
"accounts": [
{
"pub_key": {
"type": "ed25519",
"data": "8786B7812AB3B27892D8E14505EEFDBB609699E936F6A4871B1983F210736EEA"
},
"coins": [
{
"denom": "gold",
"amount": 1000000000
}
]
}
]
}
}
```
Here we've granted ourselves `1000000000` units of the `gold` token. Note that
we've also set the `chain-id` to be `example-chain`. All transactions must
therefore include the `--chain-id example-chain` in order to make sure they are
valid for this chain. Previously, we didn't need this flag because we were
using the default chain ID ("test_chain_id"). Now that we're using a custom
chain, we need to specify the chain explicitly on the command line.
Note we have also left out the details of the Tendermint genesis. These are
documented in the [Tendermint
guide](https://tendermint.com/docs/guides/using-tendermint).
# Reset
You can reset all blockchain data by running:
```shelldown[11]
basecoin unsafe_reset_all
```
Similarly, you can reset client data by running:
```shelldown[12]
basecli reset_all
```
# Genesis
Any required plugin initialization should be constructed using `SetOption` on
genesis. When starting a new chain for the first time, `SetOption` will be
called for each item the genesis file. Within genesis.json file entries are
made in the format: `"<plugin>/<key>", "<value>"`, where `<plugin>` is the
plugin name, and `<key>` and `<value>` are the strings passed into the plugin
SetOption function. This function is intended to be used to set plugin
specific information such as the plugin state.
