Install Wasm bytecode

To use the Stellar CLI to install a compiled smart contract on the ledger, use the stellar contract install command:

stellar contract install \
    --source S... \
    --network testnet \
    --wasm ../relative/path/to/soroban_contract.wasm

note

Note this command will return the hash ID of the Wasm bytecode, rather than an address for a contract instance.

📄️ Contract Lifecycle

Manage the lifecycle of a Stellar smart contract using the CLI

Deploy an instance of a compiled contract that is already installed on the network

Deploy an SAC for a Stellar asset so that it can interact with smart contracts

Use the CLI to extend the time to live (TTL) of a contract instance

Use the CLI to extend the time to live (TTL) of a contract's persistent storage entry

Use Stellar CLI to extend contract's Wasm bytecode TTL, with or without local binary

Combine the install and deploy commands in the Stellar CLI to accomplish both tasks

Use the Stellar CLI to install a compiled smart contract on the ledger

Send XLM, stellar classic, or a soroban asset using the Stellar CLI

Restore an archived contract instance using the Stellar CLI

Restore archived contract storage entries using Stellar CLI
