Aptos CLI

The @aptos-labs/aptos-cli package allows you to use the Aptos CLI from inside a Nodejs project.

Download

To install the Aptos CLI, you need to have Node.js and npm installed on your system. Then, you can install it using:

npm install @aptos-labs/aptos-cli

That command will download the Aptos CLI and create a Node bin file, making it available to use in a Node environment.

Install

Once you have the package installed and the Node bin file, you can run the following command, in your project environment, to install the Aptos CLI in your project:

npx aptos --install

Alternatively, you can simply run the cli using the npx aptos command. That will install the Aptos CLI in your project if it's not already installed.

npx aptos

Usage

To use the Aptos CLI, in your project environment, run the npx aptos command, to see the available commands.

npx aptos

Using a Custom Binary

If you already have the Aptos CLI binary installed on your system, you can specify its path to use it directly:

npx aptos --binary-path /path/to/aptos <command>

Updating the Aptos CLI

To update the Aptos CLI, you can run the following command within your project environment:

npx aptos --update

Development

To set up the project for development:

• Clone the repository
• Install dependencies:

  npm install
  

• Run the development server:

  npm run dev
  

This will build the project and run the CLI.

Building

To build the project:

npm run build
