# Chapter Three: Preparing Your Bitcoin Wallet
|
|
|
|
You're now ready to begin working with the `bitcoin-cli` command-line interface. But that first requires that you understand your Bitcoin setup and its wallet features, which is what will be explained in this chapter.
|
|
|
|
For this and future chapters, we presume that you have a VPS with Bitcoin installed, running `bitcoind`. We also presume that you are connected to signet (or testnet), allowing for access to bitcoins without using real funds. You can either do this with Bitcoin Standup at Linode.com, per [§2.1: Setting up a Bitcoin-Core VPS with Bitcoin Standup](02_1_Setting_Up_a_Bitcoin-Core_VPS_with_StackScript.md), or via other means, per [§2.2: Setting up a Bitcoin-Core Machine via Other Means](02_2_Setting_Up_Bitcoin_Core_Other.md).
