# ArDrive Turbo CLI Tutorial: Topping Up with ARIO Tokens

This tutorial walks through the process of using the ArDrive Turbo CLI to top up your account with ARIO tokens. It's an extremely simple process and makes it very easy to manage your Turbo Credit balance without ever leaving your terminal or your IDE.

## Prerequisites

- Node.js installed on your system
- ArDrive CLI installed
- A wallet file (JSON format)
- ARIO tokens in your wallet
- **Important**: Make sure your `wallet.json` file is located in the same directory where you're running the commands

## Step 1: Install Turbo SDK globally

```bash
npm install -g @ardrive/turbo-sdk
```

## Step 2: Check your current Turbo balance

```bash
turbo balance --wallet-file wallet.json
```

You can specifically check your ARIO-related balance:

```bash
turbo balance --wallet-file wallet.json --token ario
```

## Step 3: Top up your Turbo account with ARIO tokens

Use the `crypto-fund` command to top up your account:

```bash
turbo crypto-fund --wallet-file wallet.json --token ario --value 100
```

Where:
- `--wallet-file` specifies your wallet file
- `--token ario` indicates you want to use ARIO tokens
- `--value 100` is the amount of ARIO tokens to use (adjust as needed)

You'll be asked to confirm the transaction. Type `yes` to proceed.

## Step 4: Verify your updated balance

After the transaction is confirmed, check your balance again:

```bash
turbo balance --wallet-file wallet.json
```

## Using Turbo Credits for Uploads

Now that you have Turbo credits, you can use them for faster uploads:

```bash
ardrive upload-file --wallet-file wallet.json --parent-folder-id YOUR_FOLDER_ID --local-path YOUR_FILE_PATH --turbo
```

## Troubleshooting

- If you see "Destination address is not a valid supported native wallet address!" when using `top-up`, use `crypto-fund` instead.
- Make sure your wallet has sufficient ARIO tokens before attempting to fund.
- The credit amount received depends on the current exchange rate between ARIO and Turbo credits.
- If you get file not found errors, verify that your `wallet.json` is in the current directory or provide the full path to the wallet file.
