## Configuration

## Usage

**Note:** This is beta software under active development. We recommend to use it on testnet. Zenith runs on the network Zebra is running, to use the testnet you need to configure your Zebra node to run on testnet.

From the location where the configured `zenith.cfg` file is placed, use `zenith cli` to start.

Zenith will attempt to connect to the node and start up, the app will guide you through the creation of the first wallet.
