Hey, is there a guide somewhere on how to operate wallets in a linux environment?

Which wallet/coin ? As long your command line basics are clear,you shouldn't have too much trouble installing one.The basic principle of installation remains the same,make file and run the script.I will answer you in detail if you tell me what wallet and linux distro you're using.

Thanks I'm running haven https://havenprotocol.com/  on ubuntu, I have the daemon running and wallet setup but I can't figure out how to run commands like getinfo to show if wallet has synced

How do i run commands via cli?

Didn't it come with a guide? I don't think there are really any universal commands for command line wallets, so you would have to find that specifically for what you're using. You typically have to type the program name first, so something like


...should work, assuming that haven is the correct program name, and that getinfo is a valid command for it. You may need a few more arguments for it though.

Alternatively, you could try and see if it has a manual to see its commands by typing


...again, assuming that haven is the correct program name.

Hope this helped!

Just wanted to make sure, have you read this: https://github.com/havenprotocol/haven? There is guide already published there, you should try to run
to search which code you needed.
Look at this https://github.com/havenprotocol/haven#running-havend for more details.

OK I think im getting somewhere.

So do i always have to have the daemon running in the background to use the cli?
