wire-cli

Overview

wire-cli is a TypeScript-based command-line tool for spinning up a local node. It automates tasks such as installing Wire Sysio core and CDT, deploying system contracts, and starting blockproducer and chain-api nodes.

Requirements

• Only Linux supported at the moment (Ubuntu v20/v24 recommended). Not compatible with macOS or Windows at this time.
• Root privileges (run via sudo).
• Node.js 18+ to run the CLI.

Installation

npm i -g @wireio/wire-cli

Development

Clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/Wire-Network/wire-cli.git

Build the project:

npm run build

Link the executable

npm link

[!NOTE]: By default, sudo resets environment variables, causing wire-cli and Node.js binaries to be unavailable. In order to run the script as root you need to use
visudo to preserve environment variables (PATH, NVM_DIR, NODE_PATH) so that sudo can access wire-cli and the correct Node.js version.

Get NODE_PATH:

which node 

Run:

sudo visudo

Add value of NODE_PATH to secure_path, hit Save and Exit.

Example:

Defaults        secure_path = /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/home/<your-user>/.nvm/versions/node/<node-version>/bin

Usage

Once linked, you can run wire-cli from your terminal.

sudo wire-cli install --g --enable-roa
