Setup Orbition CLI under 5 minutes

Orbition CLI is a powerful tool that allows you to interact with the Orbition Native Chain directly from your terminal. As a developer, setting it up locally is essential. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started:

Update and Install Dependencies

To ensure your system is up to date and has all the necessary dependencies, run the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libudev-dev pkg-config zlib1g-dev llvm clang make cmake protobuf-compiler

Install Rust

Install Rust using rustup, which is Rust’s toolchain installer:

curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
source $HOME/.cargo/env
rustup component add rustfmt
rustup update

Clone CLI Source Code

Clone the Orbition Network CLI source code from the official GitHub repository:

git clone https://github.com/orbition-network/orbition-network.git
cd orbition-network

Install Binaries

Install the required binaries by running the installation script:

./scripts/cargo-install-all.sh .

Run CLI

Run the Orbition CLI with the following command:

./orbition-network/target/release/orbition

Note: Make sure to add the Orbition CLI as a binary on your machine. Follow the command line instructions displayed on screen after the installation of all packages.

This will start the Orbition CLI, allowing you to interact with the Orbition Native Chain directly from your terminal.
