Prerequisites

Before we begin let’s make sure your local environment is setup with the proper prerequisites.

Node Environment

1. node.js (v18.16.0+) (download)
2. pnpm (after installing node: npm install --global pnpm)

Move Environment

1. Sui (Latest Verison) (install)

Finally, Verify that the binary was installed successfully.

sui --version # must be >= 1.38

Configure Sui Client Environment

After installing the Sui CLI, you need to configure the client environments. Run the following commands to add different network environments:

Localnet

sui client new-env --alias localnet --rpc http://127.0.0.1:9000

Devnet

sui client new-env --alias devnet --rpc https://fullnode.devnet.sui.io:443/

Testnet

sui client new-env --alias testnet --rpc https://fullnode.testnet.sui.io:443/

Mainnet

sui client new-env --alias mainnet --rpc https://fullnode.mainnet.sui.io:443/

These commands will set up your Sui client to interact with different network environments. You can switch between environments using sui client switch --env <environment-alias>.
