Verify a Verifiable Presentation

This tutorial offers step-by-step guidance on how to verify a Verifiable Presentation.
⚠️ Before you begin...
Make sure you've correctly configured the cheqd plugin's agent settings for Veramo CLI
Instructions
The cryptographic verification in this tutorial will be based on JWT proof of a previously-created Verifiable Presentation.
1. Call Veramo's presentation verify function
If you have the generated Verifiable Presentation stored, pass it to the presentation verify function:
cat pres.txt | veramo presentation verify
2. Check verification output
If the verification is successful, you'll receive this response:
Presentation verified successfully
🤨 Troubleshoot verifying JWT presentations
If you belive you did everything right(created a verifiable presentation and you did not tamper it), and for some reason you're getting
Presentation could not be verified
You can fix it the following way
First, make sure you are using a node with version 16 or above.
Second, Change veramo cli version to @veramo/cli@latest -g as previous versions cause few issues in verification. This will override the previous version you have installed.
 npm i @veramo/cli@latest -g
Run command below to verify your JWT presentation.
veramo presentation verify -r <enter-the-JWT-here>
