## How do I generate one?

To use the CLI version of the generator, compile the program from the source code or download the latest release [here](https://github.com/altugbakan/vanity-monkey-generator/releases). To generate a MonKey, you need to create a config.txt file.

```
## Sample config file ##

# Lines that start with a hash mark (#) are comments.
# You should include each category that you want an accessory from.
# Non-included categories will be regarded as "Any".
glasses: any
hats: none
misc: bowtie, camera, none
# etc.

# There are also two additional variables for settings.

# request-amount sets the amount of requests in each batch.
request-amount: 100 # 100 is the default value.

# log-data logs the result to a .txt file if set true.
log-data: true # false is the default value.
```

You can find the detailed list of accessory names [here](https://monkeygen.gitbook.io/vanity-monkey-generator/cli-tutorial/accessory-names).

To open the application, open Terminal and navigate to the application's installed directory. Use chmod 777 to give the application executable permission.

```
chmod 777 VanityMonKeyGenerator
```

You can now run the app using

```
./VanityMonKeyGenerator
```

If you have set the config.txt file correctly, you will be greeted with the following screen.

![Seems good to go!](https://2336794290-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MfmhleZmLaQo4QmQAul%2F-MfyTWimgYc4U9s1RlqN%2F-MfyCckDtB74WNAAbNGZ%2Fwelcome-cli.png?alt=media\&token=e1487f89-9a7e-455c-b24c-b4d153e5eae4)

Press "Enter" to start your search for a MonKey. The generator will now try to find a Banano account with a MonKey that matches your specifications.

Now, you can copy the seed to any Banano wallet to use your account with the MonKey you want!
