+The following config steps can be performed all at once by executing the `init.sh` file located in the root directory like this:

+To initalize your chain manually, first create a key to use in signing the genesis transaction:
 
 ```bash
-emintcli keys add mykey
+emintcli keys add mykey --keyring-backend test
 ```
 > replace mykey with whatever you want to name the key
