If you have a list of voters in a file F with N lines, one voter identifier per line, run:

belenios-tool credgen --uuid $UUID --group $GROUP --file F

otherwise to generate N anonymous voting keys

belenios-tool credgen --uuid $UUID --group $GROUP --count N

It will generate three files with N lines:

TTTTTT.privcreds: each line of this file contains the voter identifier and a private voting key. Keep this file secret, and secure if you want to be able to re-send a voting key later (e.g. if a voter lost or did not receive it).
TTTTTT.pubcreds: each line of this file contains the public voting keys.
TTTTTT.hashcreds: each line of this file contains, for each identifier in TTTTTT.privcreds, the hash of the corresponding public key.

publish TTTTTT.pubcredsas public_creds.txt to the bulletin board
```
 cat *.pubcreds >> $DIR/public_creds.txt
```
distribute to each voter the private voting key corresponding to her identifier as per TTTTTT.privcreds
keep a copy of TTTTTT.privcreds in a safe place
erase all files with command line
```
 rm -f *
```
