Calm down. There are 3 main ways for you to get the Common Key.

# Use GaryOderNicht's tool (Windows only)

# Use [https://github.com/GaryOderNichts/WiiUCommonKeyExtractor GaryOderNicht's tool] (Windows only)

# Use Acer51's tool (Windows, macOS and Linux)

# Use [https://github.com/acer51-doctom/commonkey_extractor Acer51's tool] (Windows, macOS and Linux)

# Manually.

=== GaryOderNicht's tool ===

To use GaryOderNicht's tool, when you open the app, you must click on the Open button, go too the location where your OTP.bin is, select or double click it and your Common Key will appear.

=== Acer_51's tool ===

To use Acer_51's tool (acer51-doctom on GitHub), it depends on the platform you are on.

==== Windows ====

Double click the executable. In an explorer window, drag and drop your OTP.bin into the Command Prompt window. You can also manually enter the path to it. Then, press Enter. Once you are finished, press Ctrl+C to quit. '''It will NOT automatically copy and paste.'''

==== macOS / Linux ====

To execute it, you must open a Terminal window in the same directory as the executable. Then, you must execute this:

chmod +x commonkey_extractor && ./commonkey_extractor

What does this do? Well, the chmod +x is to make something executable and so that you "own" it. && means to do something after this is done. and ./commonkey_extractor is to execute the common key extractor.

After this, the executable with open. You can drag and drop your OTP.bin and the path will be put. No worries, even with quotes, it will still work. After, you can copy and paste the Common Key and press Ctrl+C to quit.

And there you go!
