Tools

Learn how to compile, publish, test, and manage Move packages and smart contracts using the Supra CLI.

On May 2nd, 2025 a new version of the CLI was released. The new image (v9.0.12) introduced a number of changes, including an improved profile feature which deprecated the key command of the previous version (v6.3.0). Please be advised that this page has not yet been updated.

What are Supra CLI Tools?

Tools in the Supra CLI are a set of commands designed to help developers interact with Move packages and smart contracts on the Supra network. They allow users to perform tasks such as compiling, publishing, testing, and running Move scripts, as well as documenting packages and managing on-chain resources. These tools serve as the foundation for building, deploying, and maintaining blockchain applications efficiently.
