@celo/celocli

Tool for interacting with the Celo Protocol.

Installation

celocli is tested on node 20, although we find it works with warnings on 18 and 22 as well.

To install globally, run:

npm install -g @celo/celocli

If you have trouble installing globally (i.e. with the -g flag), try installing to a local directory instead with npm install @celo/celocli and run with npx celocli.

For the cutting edge of development you can install the latest beta

npm install -g @celo/celocli@beta

[!TIP] IF you're on macOS or Linux, you may use Homebrew to install this. brew tap celo-org/brew && brew install celocli Other binaries are directly attached to the Github releases (eg: the 6.1.0 release). Please open up an issue if you'd like to see this CLI distributed elsewhere.

Development

Build

Use yarn build:sdk <NETWORK> to build the sdk for the target environment (CLI dependency).

Use yarn build to compile the CLI.

Generate docs

Use yarn docs to populate packages/docs with generated documentation. Generated files should be checked in, and CI will fail if CLI modifications cause changes in the docs which were not checked in.

Testing

We use both ganache and anvil for testing. You'll need foundry installed on your machine.

To run tests run the following command:

yarn workspace @celo/celocli test

if you get errors it maybe because of a mismatch in foundry anvil version vs version of anvil that created the devchain

Known build issues on Linux

I'm getting the follow error: Cannot find module '@celo/contractkit'.

A possible solution is to build the monorepo manually. Go to the developer-tooling root directory and

> yarn build

If all works well, navigate to packages/cli.
