Introduction
Steps to configure a neuron using the DFINITY Canistr SDK.
Warning
This process is not currently possible on macOS computers with M1 chips. You can only install the DFINITY Canister SDK dfx and the Candid compiler didc on Intel-based macOS and Linux computers.
Step 1: Derive a native Internet Computer principal from your Ethereum seed
As an early contributor or seed donor, Seed participants wrote down a 12-word mnemonic seed phrase that was generated by the DFINITY Chrome extension. To create an identity, seed participants must derive a private key from their seed phrase and import that private key into the DFINITY Canister SDK. This step is required before seed participants can take control of their neurons.
