Is this step necessary @ericxtang? I don't believe I've had to do it when setting up local nodes to sync with our private testnet?

Yeah I think it'll be useful if the user hasn't generated an account. @R-a-x, there is a mis-spelling "Ethereum" instead of "Etherium".

@ericxtang should I correct it and generate an another pull request ?


- Run `./livepeer_cli`.
* You should see a wizard launch in the command line.
* The wizard should print out `Account Eth Addr`, `Token balance`, and `Eth balance`

- Get some test eth from the eth faucet from [http://eth-testnet.livepeer.org/](http://eth-testnet.livepeer.org/). Make sure to use the Eth account address from above.
