Movement CLI

Movement CLI supports Aptos Move natively. Here are the instructions to install and use movement CLI.

Prerequisites

Install Rust and Cargo

Having Rust and Cargo is a prerequisite to installing the movement CLI. The easiest way to get Cargo is to install the current stable release of Rust by using rustup. Installing Rust using rustup will also install cargo.

On Linux and macOS systems, this is done as follows:

curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

Quick Install Movement Precompiled Binaries

curl -LO https://github.com/movementlabsxyz/homebrew-movement-cli/releases/download/bypass-homebrew/movement-macos-arm64.tar.gz
tar -xzf movement-macos-arm64.tar.gz
chmod +x macos-arm64/movement
sudo mv macos-arm64/movement /usr/local/bin/movement

Install Movement CLI Manually

Binary Install

git clone https://github.com/movementlabsxyz/aptos-core/ && cd aptos-core

cargo build -p movement

Copy movement into your bin or add it to your PATH depending on your system config.

For example, to copy movement to bin on Mac or Linux:

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

Use Movement CLI

Movement CLI commands are analogous to those of Aptos CLI. Simply replace aptos with movement.

So aptos move build becomes movement move build.

For help within the CLI tool:

movement --help

or

movement <subcommand> --help
