# How to withdraw and transfer funds from a subaccount using Command Line

### Prerequisites

### 1. Install tools (MacOS)

Make sure you have Homebrew installed 

```bash
brew --version
```

 If not, execute 

```bash
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/in
```

Make sure everything is up to date&#x20;

```bash
brew update && brew upgrade 
```

You need git&#x20;

```bash
 brew install git
```

`v4-client-js` uses node `v18` for development. You can use `nvm` to manage different versions of node.

```
nvm install
nvm use
nvm alias default $(nvm version) # optional
```

You can run the following commands to ensure that you are running the correct `node` and `npm` versions.

```
node -v # expected: v18.x.x (should match .nvmrc)
npm -v  # expected: 10.x.x (e.g. we use 10.2.4 here)
```

### How to initiate a withdrawal from subaccount

#### 1. Clone or fork the public dYdX solutions repo

Open a Terminal and run the following command:

```
git clone git@github.com:dydxfoundation/solutions-public.git
```

#### 2. Setup the environment

* Copy the `.env.example` and rename as a `.env` file.
* Now make sure to fill in the following parameters, `MNEMONIC`, `NETWORK_TYPE` and `RECIPIENT_ADDRESS (Address to withdraw funds to)`

```bash
# General
ADDRESS=your_dydx_address_here
MNEMONIC=your_mnemonic_here
NETWORK_TYPE=testnet # Use "mainnet" for main network

# withdrawOtherExample
RECIPIENT_ADDRESS=your_recipient_dydx_address_here
WITHDRAWAL_AMOUNT=1000000 #remember usdc has 6 decimals, so this represents 1 USDC
```

* &#x20;For testnet and testing purposes, feel free to use the mnemonic from the TS client library under `v4-client-js/examples/constants`.

#### 3. Run the scripts with node

```
npm install
npm run build
```

You should now see a `/build` dir generated with JS files. We will use node to run these scripts

* Open a terminal to run the example orders.

```
node build/withrawOtherExample.js
```

* (OPTIONAL) Run the websocket to check orders for a given subaccount.

```
node build/websocketExample.js
```
