Install Movement CLI page link and docs info #17

Closed andygolay closed 3 months ago

andygolay commented 3 months ago

@Rahat-ch @PrasoonPratham I'm getting ready to update the docs relating to Aptos CLI so they are relevant to the changes to Movement CLI (which replaces Aptos CLI).

On this page I see a link to Install Aptos CLI but the link goes to https://docs.movementnetwork.xyz/.

  1. Do you have a page in mind, or is there one on the docs site already, for installing Movement CLI? I'm not quite sure where to update installation instructions.

If you're not sure where it would go, may I suggest a Developer Tooling section?

  1. Or if you prefer to make the updates, basically the Movement CLI crate is at

https://github.com/movementlabsxyz/aptos-core/tree/movement/crates/aptos

for developers who want to dive into the source code

and the syntax is changed as follows:

Wherever you have the aptos command in Aptos CLI, simply substitute movement for it, in the docs.

So aptos move build becomes movement move build.

This is different than the old Movement CLI, where you would use movement aptos move build because both Aptos and Sui CLI were embedded into that one Movement CLI.

Movement CLI now is focused on supporting Aptos Move exclusively at first, hence removing the need to specify aptos in specific CLI commands.

  1. To install Movement CLI, clone the movement branch of https://github.com/movementlabsxyz/aptos-core/ and cd into it.

Then run cargo build -p movement.

This generates the target/debug/movement executable, which you can copy into your bin or add it to your PATH depending on your system config.

Example of copying movement to bin on Mac or Linux:

sudo cp target/debug/movement /usr/local/bin/

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you'd like me to add any of it anywhere specifically in the docs.

This link was supposed to go to the Aptos CLI installation instructions. Going forward we can have an installation instructions on this page itself with the new movement CLI.

Ok so I can add the installation instructions under the Aptos heading there?

Yeah that would be perfect. Let’s also clarify the movement CLI is analogous to the Aptos CLI and Sui is under development.
