# Import a Factom wallet

See [CLI setup](/accumulate/cli/cli-setup.md) for instructions on downloading the CLI binaries or building from source

## Import private keys

If you have not yet, initialize your wallet's mnemonic with `accumulate wallet init create`. This can be done at any time.

Run `accumulate key import factoid` and paste your private key into the prompt. Do this for each key.

## Import a mnemonic

Run `accumulate wallet init import mnemonic` and paste your mnemonic into the prompt. Enter and reender a password when prompted. This password encrypts your new wallet.

Run `accumulate key generate --sigtype rcd1 <nickname>` to regenerate a Factom key. `<nickname>` is an arbitrary nickname the CLI uses as a shorthand for the key. Run this command once for each key you generated from this mnemonic in your Factom wallet. If your Factom wallet had 5 keys generated with this mnemonic, run this command 5 times (with different nicknames).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.accumulatenetwork.io/accumulate/cli/import-a-factom-wallet.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
