- To create a view only wallet you will need to first create a "normal" wallet and get the associated viewkey and address. You can get them once logged in simplewallet by typing "*viewkey*" and "*address*". Note each of them carefully and exit simplewallet.

- Launch a new instance of simplewallet by typing "*./simplewallet --generate-from-view-key yourViewKey:yourAddress:nameOfTheViewOnlyWallet*" where *youViewKey* is the view key you got from step 1 and *yourAddress* the associated address.
