Vega Testnet invites you to play with Vega Console market.
You can install local or hosted wallet and console.
This guide covers OS Windows local wallet installation

1. Installation of local vegawallet and console

Download corresponding vegawallet for your Operating System:
https://github.com/vegaprotocol/go-wallet/releases

MACOS	vegawallet-darwin-amd64.zip
LINUX	vegawallet-linux-amd64.zip
WINDOWS	vegawallet-windows-amd64.zip

Unpack archive to folder of your choice (we will go with Downloads in this guide).
Press Win+R, enter cmd in opened window, press Enter. This will open windows Terminal.
In Terminal we need to navigate to path where your vegawallet.exe is placed after unarchiving (Downloads in our case) and run it, to do so enter next commands in Terminal:

cd Downloads
vegawallet

You will see output like this:

Next we generate new wallet with name “NodesGuru”:

vegawallet genkey -n "NodesGuru"

When entered, you will be promted to enter your password for new wallet:

Write down your public and private keys.

For your comfort, pubkey can be aliased with custom name, f.e. “NodesGuruKey”:

vegawallet meta --metas="name:NodesGurukey" --name="NodesGuru" --pubkey="здесь ваш паблик ключ из предыдущего шага"

Next we connect to test nodes:

vegawallet service init

And start Vega Console interface:

vegawallet service run -p

Webbrowser should automatically open with tab on address localhost:1847
Let’s add our wallet we just created (follow arrow on screen):

2. Setting up console, add test tokens

Click LOCAL WALLET and enther wallet name you set earlier (“NodesGuru“), and password in the next field:

Now we will need test tokens to play with console trading. In order to get some tokens you will need MetaMask, Vega uses Ropsten Testnet.
Press Manage in accounts list:

Next – Deposit / Withdraw in one of tokens sections, f.e. BTC:

Then – Deposit:

To get Ropsten test Ether – click link (Arrow #1), paste your MetaMask ERC-20 address.
Then click Get tBTC to get tBTC (Arrow #2), you will need to confirm transaction in MetaMask – it should automatically set Ropsten network in the top of MetaMask popup, but double check if it is so:

If you succeeded in previous step, you will have some test tokens on MetaMask (in our example 1 Ropsten ETH and 10 tBTC).
We will need to deposit tBTC to Vega Console Account. Enter 10 in the field above Deposit button and click increase approved amount, confirm in MetaMask:

Once limit increased, press Deposit to transfer 10 tBTC from MetaMask to Vega:

When deposit will be completed, close accounts section of Vega by clicking top right corner of page and start playing and learning in Vega Console!
