Installation

Squid CLI is a command line tool for

scaffolding new squids from templates
running SDK tools and scripts defined in commands.json in a cross-platform way
managing squid deployments in SQD Cloud (former Aquarium)

The CLI is distributed as a npm package. To install Squid CLI, follow the steps below.

0. Install and setup Squid CLI

First, install the latest version of Squid CLI as a global npm package:

npm i -g @subsquid/cli@latest

Check the version:

sqd --version

Make sure the output looks like @subsquid/cli@<version>.

The next steps are optional for building and running squids. A key is required to enable the CLI commands managing the SQD Cloud deployments.

Open a terminal window and run

sqd auth -k <DEPLOYMENT_KEY>

Use sqd --help to get a list of the available command and sqd <command> --help to get help on the available options for a specific command, e.g.

sqd deploy --help
