OpenZeppelin SDK

Formerly known as ZeppelinOS

OpenZeppelin is a platform to develop, deploy and operate smart contract projects on Ethereum and every other EVM and eWASM-powered blockchain.

This repository includes the OpenZeppelin Command-Line Interface, JavaScript Library, and the sources for the Documentation Website.

Install

First, install Node.js and npm. Then, install the OpenZeppelin SDK running:

npm install --global @openzeppelin/cli

If you get an EACCESS permission denied error while installing, please refer to the npm documentation on global installs permission errors. Alternatively, you may run sudo npm install --unsafe-perm --global @openzeppelin/cli, but this is highly discouraged, and you should rather either use a node version manager or manually change npm's default directory.

Usage

We recommend to use the OpenZeppelin SDK through the openzeppelin sdk command-line interface.

To start, create a directory for the project and access it:

mkdir my-project
cd my-project

Use npm to create a package.json file:

npm init

And initialize the OpenZeppelin SDK project:

openzeppelin init my-project

Now it is possible to use openzeppelin create to create instances for these contracts that later can be upgraded, and many more things.

Run openzeppelin --help for more details about thes and all the other functions of the OpenZeppelin CLI.

The OpenZeppelin SDK documentation explains how to build a project using our platform, how to upgrade contracts, how to share packages for other projects to reuse, how to vouch for the quality of a package, how to use the JavaScript libraries to operate the project, and it explains details of the platform and some advanced topics.

Security

If you find a security issue, please contact us at security@openzeppelin.com. We give rewards for reported issues, according to impact and severity.
