# How to update the coins file to work with the latest atomicDEX-API

# Instructions

  • Compile the latest mm2 binary following these instructions
  • Place the coins file in the old format in the same directory as the compiled mm2 binary
  • Open a terminal and navigate to the directory with both the files
  • Run the following command ./mm2 update_config coins coins_new

Note

mm2 can accept any valid paths as the arguments for the source and destination files

Success
  • You will find a new file named coins_new in the same directory with the new format expected by AtomicDEX
  • Rename the file named coins to coins_old and then coins_new to coins
  • mm2 will use the coins file in the new format the next time it is launched
