+# Installation of bisq daemon and CLI
+
+## Installing
+
+### Java
+
+```bash
+apt update  
+apt install default-jdk  
+java -version
+```
+
+Java must be installed.
+
+### Daemon and CLI
+
+
+```bash
+cd 
+mkdir bisq
+cd bisq
+BISQ_VERSION="1.9.4"
+wget "https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/releases/download/v${BISQ_VERSION}/bisq-daemon-${BISQ_VERSION}.zip"
+wget "https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/releases/download/v${BISQ_VERSION}/bisq-cli-${BISQ_VERSION}.zip"
+unzip bisq-daemon-${BISQ_VERSION}.zip
+unzip bisq-cli-${BISQ_VERSION}.zip
+rm bisq-daemon-${BISQ_VERSION}.zip
+rm bisq-cli-${BISQ_VERSION}.zip
+```
+
+1. Copy the pre-built bisq cli from github
+2. Copy the pre-built bisq daemon from github
+3. Unzip both
+
+```bash
+cd ~/bisq/bisq-daemon-1.9.4
+java -jar daemon.jar --apiPassword=noesfacilvivirsinbisq
+# Give it some time to start up
+cd ~/bisq/bisq-cli-1.9.4
+java -jar cli.jar --password=noesfacilvivirsinbisq getversion
+```
+
+4. Run the bisq-daemon
+5. Make a test call from the CLI to test
+
+	NOTE: the daemon consumes some RAM. Ensure that there is at least a 2Gb of RAM ready for the daemon to use, otherwise Java runs out of memory and behaves weird.
+
+### Payment Accounts
+
+To copy over existing payment accounts from another instance, one has to copy the `UserPayload` file, located in `$BISQ_DATA/btc_mainnet/db/UserPayload` into the bisq daemon data folder.
+

+A few CLI calls to practice:
+
+- Get BSQ balance
+```shell
+java -jar cli.jar --password=noesfacilvivirsinbisq getbalance --currency-code=BSQ
+```
+- Get BTC balance
+``` bash
+java -jar cli.jar --password=noesfacilvivirsinbisq getbalance --currency-code=BTC
+```
+- Set a password on the wallet
+```bash
+java -jar cli.jar --password=noesfacilvivirsinbisq setwalletpassword --wallet-password="noesfacilvivirsinbisq"
+```
+- Unlock the wallet for 60 seconds
+```bash
+java -jar cli.jar --password=noesfacilvivirsinbisq unlockwallet --wallet-password="noesfacilvivirsinbisq" --timeout=60
+```
+- Get EUR/BTC price
+```bash
+java -jar cli.jar --password=noesfacilvivirsinbisq getbtcprice --currency-code=EUR
+```
+- Get a funding address
+```bash
+java -jar cli.jar --password=noesfacilvivirsinbisq getfundingaddresses
+```
+- Get offers for a certain market and direction
+```bash
+java -jar cli.jar --password=noesfacilvivirsinbisq getoffers --direction=BUY --currency-code=EUR
+```
+- Stop the daemon
+
+```bash
+java -jar cli.jar --password=noesfacilvivirsinbisq stop
+```
