Mist wallet

Ethereum works with Ether cryptocurrency and a wallet is required to send and receive Ether. Mist is an implementation of the same. Mist is a wallet used to send and receive Ether. It helps in executing transactions on the Ethereum network. The network can be public or private. It allows users to create their accounts, send and receive Ether, and deploy and invoke contracts.

Mist can be downloaded from https://github.com/ethereum/mist/releases. Download an appropriate ZIP file (in this case it is Ethereum-Wallet-win64-0-9-2.zip since we are deploying on Windows 2016) and extract to a file location. Double-click on the Ethereum Wallet application from the extracted files as shown in the following screenshot:
