These commands will display information about your smart card and list installed applets.

Working with JavaCard Applets

Installing HelloWorld Sample

1. Navigate to your home directory
2. Download helloworld.cap from:
   https://github.com/usasmartcard/Docker_Globalplatform
3. Run the following commands:

# Remove existing installation if present
gp -uninstall helloworld.cap
# Install the applet
gp -install helloworld.cap

Testing the Installation

Use OpenSC to send APDU commands to the card:

# Select the applet and retrieve data
opensc-tool -s "00 A4 04 00 07 D0 D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 01" -s "00:CB:3F:FF:05:5C:03:5F:C1:02:00"

Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions:

• If OpenSC tools aren't found, ensure the installation directory is in your system PATH
• For GP operations, make sure your smart card is properly inserted and recognized
• If APDU commands fail, verify the card is properly selected and in the correct state
