<summary>Using Keystore Files</summary>

#### **At Runtime:**

```bash
otcli [SUB-COMMAND-1] [SUB-COMMAND-2] \
    --keystore <KEYSTORE_PATH> \
    --keystore-password <DECRYPT_PASSWORD>
```

* **KEYSTORE\_PATH:** Path to the JSON-formatted Keystore file.
* **DECRYPT\_PASSWORD**: Password to decrypt the Keystore file. If not supplied, you will be prompted to enter it.

#### **Using Environment Variables:**

Set these variables in your `.env` file:

{% code title=".env" %}

WALLET_KEYSTORE_PATH=.keystore/your-keystore-file.json
WALLET_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=your_password
OPERATOR_ADDRESS=0xabc... # Required when using a separate Consensus Key

### Browser wallet support

Othentic CLI supports using browser wallets like Metamask, SAFE, wallet connect etc.

* This feature is particularly useful when using multisig account or scenarios where the private key can not be pasted directly.&#x20;
* This feature can be used across all CLI commands seamlessly.

To use this, include the `--browser-sign` flag when running any CLI command.

For reference, see [this guide on deploying an AVS through browser wallet.](https://docs.othentic.xyz/main/user-guide/network-management/deploy-avs#id-7.-deploy-an-avs-with-browser-wallet)
