# keycard `keycard` is a command line tool you can use to initialize a smartcard with the [Status Keycard](https://github.com/status-im/status-keycard). ## Dependencies To install `keycard-go` you need `go` in your system. MacOSX: `brew install go` ## Installation `go get github.com/status-im/keycard-go/cmd/keycard` The executable will be installed in `$GOPATH/bin`. Check your `$GOPATH` with `go env`. ## Usage ### Install the keycard applet The install command will install an applet to the card. You can download the status `cap` file from the [status-im/status-keycard releases page](https://github.com/status-im/status-keycard/releases). ```bash keycard install -l debug -a PATH_TO_CAP_FILE ``` In case the applet is already installed and you want to force a new installation you can pass the `-f` flag. ### Card info ```bash keycard info -l debug ``` The `info` command will print something like this: ``` Installed: true Initialized: false InstanceUID: 0x PublicKey: 0x112233... Version: 0x AvailableSlots: 0x KeyUID: 0x ``` ### Card initialization ```bash keycard init -l debug ``` The `init` command initializes the card and generates the secrets needed to pair the card to a device. ``` PIN 123456 PUK 123456789012 Pairing password: RandomPairingPassword ``` ### Deleting the applet from the card :warning: **WARNING! This command will remove the applet and all the keys from the card.** :warning: ```bash keycard delete -l debug ``` ### Pairing ```bash keycard pair -l debug ``` The process will ask for `PairingPassword` and `PIN` and will generate a pairing key you can use to interact with the card.
