CLI Wallet is a desktop platform software programmed to run on Windows, Mac or Linux operating system using Command Line Interface.
You can find the binary distributions .
Check the version of the software and make sure that it is marked with "Latest release" with "Verified" Symbol.
Within that version of release, scroll down and you will find a list of files that has the same version number of the latest release.
From here you will be able to choose the appropriate file for your chosen platform (ex. Linux, Windows, Mac). The binaries are provided in .zip files.

Running qwertycoind will start the network daemon which will start downloading and verifying the Qwertycoin blockchain.
This can take sometime because qwertycoind must verify every block.
You can sync the blockchain much faster by using checkpoints.
Place checkpoints.csv in the same folder as your Qwertycoind daemon
Make sure you shut down any GUI wallets, or any other instances of Qwertycoind.
Linux, Apple
First, open a command prompt in the same directory as Qwertycoind.
You can use the cd command to change to this directory. For example, cd Downloads/qwertycoincoin-v3.0.1
Alternatively, your file manager may provide the ability to open a terminal in your current directory. Navigate to the folder with Qwertycoind in, and try right clicking, to see if you can open a terminal there:
Finally, type ./Qwertycoind --load-checkpoints checkpoints.csv in the terminal.
Windows
First, open a command prompt in the same directory as Qwertycoind.
This can easily be done by moving to the Qwertycoind directory in Windows Explorer, then typing cmd in the search bar and hitting enter:
Finally, type Qwertycoind.exe --load-checkpoints checkpoints.csv in the command prompt.
If you did the steps correctly, you should see something like this output.
Qwertycoind will then start syncing from checkpoints.
If you are using the CLI wallet, then you can just wait for it to finish syncing, and open your wallet.
If you are using a GUI wallet, let it finish syncing, close it down by typing exit in the window, then open your GUI wallet.
With qwertycoind still running in the background or another terminal prompt, open simplewallet.
Run the simplewallet.exe executable from the extracted folder.
To create a wallet, type G and press enter and then answer the questions when prompted. I provided an example below.
