Setting up addresses

In order to send transactions (tx) to the IOV Name Service, you need to have your star address set up.

Command helper
You can get a full description of how to create addresses on the CLI by running
iovnscli keys add --help
Creating your local private/public key and address with name
You can simply run the command keys add
iovnscli keys add <your_key_name>
and you will get this
{
    "name":<your_key_name>,
    "type":"local",
    "address":"star128udjaql9dq06netfty5etnxu9cjvnp2mfsejg",
    "pubkey":"starpub1addwnpepq0knzm90kjh7q8rnr5fqhtmnqmnzyqy63znvpekxdhp03h3aev3fzldgkn7",
    "mnemonic":"job satisfy drill fiscal refuse during off alcohol artefact horn list mix judge oblige spend such distance task elegant party author quit prosper dance"
}
In most CLI commands, you can use the keys name in place of the address, which makes it easier to use.
Importing your existing wallet
If you already have your mnemonic, you can recover your address with the flag --recover which will prompt you to enter your 12 words mnemonic and associate the result to the name you have provided.
iovnscli keys add benkeys --recover
> Enter your bip39 mnemonic
...
Checking your saved CLI wallet
You can always check the keys associated with a local key name with the command keys show
iovnscli keys show benkeys
{
  "name": "benkeys",
  "type": "local",
  "address": "star10lalxx8ml63hs86j64nk76kucf72dsucluexz8",
  "pubkey": "starpub1addwnpepqdg4uephp9xj2zw8k8yjutghhl4qxgwy9d9elxxfv80ez5vgkyes25gpkdh"
}
