The Cardano command line interface:
- powerful blockchain manager: download, explore, verify, analyse;
- manage multiple wallets: daedalus', icarus' or other kind of wallets;
- flexible transaction build engine.
This command line interface is built upon the Rust Cardano SDK.
- The software is currently still in alpha phase, please don't use for any other purpose than debugging and testing, until stable releases.
- While most of the operations in the CLI is reading state, and are thus
relatively safe even in the precense of bugs, do take special note that
transaction sendwill permanently change your state. - Consider to test testnet operations (depending on testnet availability) before doing mainnet operations.
- If you think, something is suspicious, it may very well be the case. Check the documentation, or ask for help.
- Do not share your wallet mnemonics, passwords, cryptographic material, pending signatures.
While it is recommended to wait for official releases, it is also possible to build the executable yourself:
- install rust toolchain;
- clone the project repository (with the dependencies)
git clone https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-cli.git --recursive
- build and install the binary:
cd cardano-cli cargo install - enjoy
$ cardano-cli blockchain new mainnet
$ cardano-cli blockchain pull mainnet
$ cardano-cli wallet create "My Wallet"
$ cardano-cli wallet attach "My Wallet" mainnet
$ cardano-cli wallet sync "My Wallet"
$ cardano-cli wallet status "My Wallet"| Target | test |

We aim to support compiler versions down to 1.30. This is not a contract though. We might drop support of older compiler with time at our own convenience.
