Arichain CLI (ari-tools)

The Arichain CLI provides essential tools for Multi-VM development, deployment, and management.

Installation:

npm install -g @arichain/cli
# or
curl -sSL https://install.arichain.io/cli | sh

Project Initialization:

# Create new Multi-VM project
ari-tools init my-dapp --template multivm

# Initialize EVM-only project
ari-tools init my-evm-dapp --template evm --framework hardhat

# Initialize SVM-only project
ari-tools init my-svm-dapp --template svm --framework anchor

Contract Deployment:

# Deploy to specific VM
ari-tools deploy --vm evm --contract MyContract.sol --network testnet
ari-tools deploy --vm svm --program my_program.so --network testnet

# Deploy to multiple VMs
ari-tools deploy --multi-vm --config deploy.json --network testnet

Network Management:

# Add custom network
ari-tools network add \
  --name my-testnet \
  --evm-rpc https://evm-rpc.my-testnet.arichain.io \
  --svm-rpc https://svm-rpc.my-testnet.arichain.io \
  --chain-id 1337

# Switch networks
ari-tools network use my-testnet

# Check network status
ari-tools network status

Development Utilities:

# Generate GAID for testing
ari-tools gaid generate --vm evm

Configuration Management:

# Set default configuration
ari-tools config set default-gas-token ARI
ari-tools config set preferred-vm evm

# View current configuration
ari-tools config list

# Export/import configuration
ari-tools config export --file config.json
ari-tools config import --file config.json
