Getting started

Get started as a user

To get started, you’ll need to complete two main steps: installing the wallet and running the demonstration application. Follow the instructions below to set everything up quickly and easily.

  1. Install the Wallet The wallet is essential for managing your credentials and interacting with the demonstration application. Here’s how to set it up:
  • Download: Head to the official website or app store and download the wallet application compatible with your device.
  • Install: Follow the on-screen installation instructions. Ensure you grant any required permissions for a smooth setup.
  • Set Up Your Account: Open the wallet, create a new account, and securely store any recovery phrases or credentials provided during setup.

Tip: Keep your recovery information private and stored securely—it’s crucial for accessing your wallet.

  1. Run the Demonstration Application Once your wallet is ready, you can proceed to run the demonstration application:
  • Access the demo application: Navigate to the application URL in your browser.
  • Connect Your Wallet: Open the wallet and link it to the demonstration application as instructed.
  • Explore: Follow the prompts in the application to begin testing its features. You’ll see how the wallet integrates and functions in real-time.

That’s it! With your wallet installed and the demo application running, you’re all set to explore and experience the system. Let us know if you need help along the way!

Get started as an application developer

Note: You need to install and configure your wallet before you run the tutorials.

For a smooth landing, Carmentis provides an already-configured environment called a sandbox. It as a development environment managed by Carmentis, which is useful to develop your own application in the development phase. In the first tutorial, we guide you to create your first sandbox sandbox, containing a pre-configured demo application.

Once you are ready to develop your own application and put it in production, you will need to run your own self-sovereign service operator. To guide you through this crucial step, we provide you a second tutorial to link your freshly written and ready-to-deploy application with your service operator.
