.. _faucet:
Get testnet coins
=================
If you wish to play with the Alphanet or the Zeronet, you must first
grab a wallet from the faucet:
https://faucet.tzalpha.net/
This will provide you with a JSON file, named like
``tz1__xxxxxxxxx__.json``. Once your node is synchronized, you should
run the following command to activate your wallet, where ``my_account``
is a local name you choose, and ``tz1__xxxxxxxxx__.json`` is the name
of the file you grab:
::
$ tezos-client activate account my_account with tz1__xxxxxxxxx__.json
Operation successfully injected in the node.
Operation hash is 'ooGoVS5cikbTHEimTzYhQWrYqY2LeJYmfkbzoiW8KQ59jtGQaXr'.

Operation found in block: BKihN2QgSAu2etftNvs8FWWhwTvZiY8P3e7H3jgdj2MCpKZXXRs
Account my_account (tz1__xxxxxxxxx__) created with ꜩ23,454.
Or, if you use the ``alphanet.sh`` (resp. ``zeronet.sh``) script, you
should prefix the file with ``container:`` in order to copy it into
the docker image:
::
$ ./alphanet.sh client activate account my_account with container:tz1__xxxxxxxxx__.json
Please preserve the JSON file, after each reset of the Alphanet (or
Zeronet), you will have to reactivate the wallet.
Please drink carefully and don't abuse the faucet: it only contains
30.000 wallets for a total amount of ꜩ760.000.000.
