There is currently a very easy way to get started with Peerplays, if your willing to deal with the command line wallet. @someguy123 has published a docker file that you can use to get stared in under 5 minutes, but I did find that a few tweaks need to be made.

Step 1

Download Docker, for windows or mac
https://store.docker.com/editions/community/docker-ce-desktop-windows
https://store.docker.com/editions/community/docker-ce-desktop-mac

Step 2

Load Kitematic from the start menu

Step3

Click +New and type Peerplays into the search box and download the dockerfile that Someguy123 put up

Step 4

Click on the Volumes to make a persistent state on your computer.

THIS STEP IS CRITICAL OR YOUR CHANGES WILL NOT BE SAVED AND YOU WILL LOSE YOUR WALLET!!!!!

Step 5

Edit your Config.ini, it's in your Documents/Kitematic/peerplays/witness_node_data_dir folder and uncomment the "RPC-Endpoint =" , enter 127.0.0.1:8090

You will need to restart the dock anytime you make changes to ini file, if your already in the powershell you can issue a "ps" command and then kill the node, or jsut hit the cycle button on the kinematic app.

Step 6

Click on the Exec icon to start a powershell to the virtual machine, type cli_wallet

Step 7

type set_password and a password to get your wallet started, now type unlock and you password

Step 8

type import_key "bts-your bitshare account" privkey to import from Bitshares if you had a balance before Sept 2016. If you do not have that you will need a faucet to make your account for you. You can also create a brain key by using suggest_brain_key, and using that in create_account_from_brain_key to create a PPY address. You can then type import_balance yourname ["ICO privkey","ICO privkey 2"] true true to import ICO funds to that account or your bts-accountname account

You can find faucets in the PeerplaysWitness telegram room, you will need to supply your wanted username, and two public keys. Peerplays public keys start with PPY. To quickly generate your owner and active keys issue the suggest_brain_key twice and make sure to write down the brain and the private keys. Then write them down again somewhere else, because if you lose your keys you lose your money.
