Steps to claim (Text within \`\` (shown in a grey box on paragraph) are commands to be entered in the terminal)

1.  within the ceremonyclient directory run `vi update_client.sh`. This will open a text editor in terminal.
    
2.  in the terminal window press the "I" key to enter the editing mode.
    
3.  now copy the stuff on this page: https://pastebin.com/raw/v9Rhj235 and then paste it (using ctrl+p keys)
    
4.  enter `:wq!` to exit editing mode, save, and close the text editor.
    
5.  enter `chmod +x update_client.sh` to make the script runnable.
    
6.  now run `./update_client.sh` this will download the most recent qclient update
    
7.  now make the new client runnable with the command `chmod +x qclient-2.0.2.4-linux-arm64` (let me know if you aren't on linux as it changes the name here)
    
8.  backup your .config folder now by entering `cp -rf .config config_copy`. This will create a backup of your config in a new config\_copy folder within the ceremonyclient directory.
    
9.  enter `./qclient-2.0.2.4-linux-arm64 token balance` to get your quil address.
    
10.  enter `./qclient-2.0.2.4-linux-arm64 token coins`. save the output from this somewhere as it is important if you have bridging issues.
    
11.  open https://quilibrium.com/bridge in your browser (not on the rented server) and paste your quil address into the "Enter Account Address" box.
    
12.  once it finds your address click on it in the drop down menu (here it will have a 0x address)
    
13.  use the "Connect" button to connect your eth wallet on the quilibrium page
    
14.  once you connect the wallet there is a button to "Start Bridge" press that.
    
15.  this opens a popup which gives you a command that starts with `./qclient`. Copy this command and paste it into your terminal window. Modify the line before pressing enter so that qclient matches your version (for example: `./qclient-2.0.2.4-linux-arm64 cross-mint ABUNCHOFNUMBERSANDLETTERSHEREYOUCOPYPASTED`
    
16.  running the command in step 14 will output a response that starts with {"peerPublicKey":. Copy the whole output and paste it into the popup window on the equilibrium site in your browser.
