Sui CLI Quick Start

Welcome to the Sui tutorial on the Sui CLI developed to facilitate experimentation with Sui features using a command line interface. In this document, we describe how to set up the Sui client and execute commands through its command line interface, Sui CLI.

Set up

Follow the instructions to install Sui binaries.

Connect to Devnet

We are hosting a public Devnet for the community to experiment with our tech and help to shape the future of the Sui network. To connect the Sui client to the Devnet, run the following command:

$ sui client

The Sui CLI will print the following line if the client is starting up the first time.

Config file ["/Users/dir/.sui/sui_config/client.yaml"] doesn't exist, do you want to connect to a Sui RPC server [y/n]?

Type 'y' and then press 'Enter'. You should see the following output:

Sui RPC server Url (Default to Sui Devnet if not specified) :

The Sui client will prompt for the RPC server URL; press 'Enter' and it will default to Devnet. Or enter a custom URL if you want to connect to a server hosted elsewhere.

If you have used the Sui client before with a local network, follow the next section to manually change the RPC server URL to Devnet.

Manually change the RPC server URL

If you have used the Sui client before, you will have an existing client.yaml configuration file. Change the configured RPC server URL to Devnet by using:

$ sui client switch --gateway https://gateway.devnet.sui.io:443

Genesis

The genesis command creates four validators and five user accounts each with five gas objects. These are Sui objects used to pay for Sui transactions, such other object transfers or smart contract (Move) calls. These numbers represent a sample configuration and have been chosen somewhat arbitrarily; the process of generating the genesis state can be customized with additional accounts, objects, code, etc. as described in Genesis customization.

Optionally, set RUST_LOG=debug for verbose logging.
Initiate genesis:
```
$ sui genesis
```

All of this is contained in configuration and keystore files and an authorities_db database directory. A client_db directory is also created upon running the sui client new-address command covered later.

The network configuration is stored in network.yaml and can be used subsequently to start the network. The client.yaml and sui.keystore are also created to be used by the Sui client to manage the newly created accounts.

By default, these files are placed in your home directory at ~/.sui/sui_config (created automatically if it does not yet exist). But you can override this location by providing an alternative path to the --working-dir argument. Run the command like so to place the files in the dir directory:

$ sui genesis --working-dir /path/to/sui/config/dir

Note: That path and directory must already exist and will not be created with the --working-dir argument.

Recreating genesis

To recreate Sui genesis state in the same location, which will remove existing configuration files, pass the --force option to the sui genesis command and either run it in the default directory (~/.sui/sui_config) or specify it once again, using the --working-dir argument:

$ sui genesis --force --working-dir /path/to/sui/config/dir

Client configuration

The genesis process creates a configuration file client.yaml, and a keystore file sui.keystore for the Sui client. The config file contains information of the accounts and the Sui Network server. The keystore file contains all the public-private key pairs of the created accounts. Sui client uses the network information in client.yaml to communicate with the Sui network validators and create transactions using the key pairs residing in the keystore file.

Here is an example of client.yaml showing the accounts and key pairs in the client configuration (with some values omitted):

---
accounts:
  - b02b5e57fe3572f94ad5ac2a17392bfb3261f7a0

active_address: "0xb02b5e57fe3572f94ad5ac2a17392bfb3261f7a0"

The accounts variable contains the account's address that the client manages. The gateway variable contains the information of the Sui network that the client will be connecting to.

The authorities variable is part of the embedded gateway configuration. It contains the Sui network validator's name, host and port information. It is used to establish connections to the Sui network.

Note send_timeout, recv_timeout and buffer_size are the network parameters, and db_folder_path is the path to the account's client state database. This database stores all the transaction data, certificates and object data belonging to the account.

Sui Network Gateway

The Sui Network Gateway (or simply, Sui Gateway) is an abstraction layer that acts as the entry point to the Sui network. Different gateway implementations can be used by the application layer based on their use cases.

Embedded gateway

As the name suggests, embedded gateway embeds the gateway logic into the application; all data will be stored locally and the application will make direct connection to the validators.

RPC gateway

You can also connect the client to the Sui network via an RPC Gateway; To use the RPC gateway, update client.yaml's gateway section to:

...
gateway:
  rpc: "http://localhost:5001"
...

Key management

The key pairs are stored in sui.keystore. However, this is not secure and shouldn't be used in a production environment. We have plans to implement more secure key management and support hardware signing in a future release.

⚠️ Do not use in production: Keys are stored in file!

Starting the network

Run the following command to start the local Sui network, assuming you accepted the default location for configuration:

$ sui start

This command will look for the Sui network configuration file network.yaml in the ~/.sui/sui_config directory. But you can override this setting by providing a path to the directory where this file is stored:

$ sui start --config /path/to/sui/network/config/file

For example:

$ sui start --config /Users/name/tmp/network.yaml

Executing any of these two commands in a terminal window will result in no output but the terminal will be "blocked" by the running Sui instance (it will not return the command prompt). The command can also be run in background.

NOTE: For logs, set RUST_LOG=debug before invoking sui start.

If you see errors when trying to start Sui network, particularly if you made some custom changes (e.g, customized client configuration), you should recreate Sui genesis state.

Using the Sui client

Now start a new terminal since you have the Sui network running in the first terminal.

The following commands are supported by the Sui client:

active-address        Default address used for commands when none specified
addresses             Obtain the Addresses managed by the client
call                  Call Move function
clear                 Clear screen
create-example-nft    Create an example NFT
echo                  Write arguments to the console output
env                   Print environment
exit                  Exit the interactive shell
gas                   Obtain all gas objects owned by the address
help                  Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
history               Print history
merge-coin            Merge two coin objects into one coin
new-address           Generate new address and keypair
object                Get obj info
objects               Obtain all objects owned by the address
publish               Publish Move modules
split-coin            Split a coin object into multiple coins
switch                Switch active address and network (e.g., Devnet, local RPC server)
sync                  Synchronize client state with authorities
transfer-coin         Transfer coin object
transfer-sui          Transfer SUI, and pay gas with the same SUI coin object. If amount is
                          specified, only the amount is transferred; otherwise the entire object
                          is transferred

Note: The clear, echo, env and exit commands exist only in the interactive shell.

Use sui client -h to see the most up-to-date list of commands.

Use help <command> to see more information on each command.

You can start the client in two modes: interactive shell or command line interface.

Interactive shell

To start the interactive shell, execute the following (in a different terminal window than one used to execute sui start). Assuming you accepted the default location for configuration:

$ sui console

This command will look for the client configuration file client.yaml in the ~/.sui/sui_config directory. But you can override this setting by providing a path to the directory where this file is stored:

$ sui console --config /path/to/client/config/file

The Sui interactive client console supports the following shell functionality:

Command history - The history command can be used to print the interactive shell's command history; you can also use Up, Down or Ctrl-P, Ctrl-N to navigate previous or next matches from history. History search is also supported using Ctrl-R.
Tab completion - Tab completion is supported for all commands using Tab and Ctrl-I keys.
Environment variable substitution - The Sui console will substitute inputs prefixed with $ with environment variables, you can use the env command to print out the entire list of variables and use echo to preview the substitution without invoking any commands.

Command line mode

The client can also be used without the interactive shell, which can be useful if you want to pipe the output of the client to another application or invoke client commands using scripts.

USAGE:
    sui client [SUBCOMMAND]

For example, we can use the following command to see the list of accounts available on the platform:

$ sui client addresses

The result of running this command should resemble the following output:

Showing 5 results.
0x66af3898e7558b79e115ab61184a958497d1905a
0xae6fb6036570fec1df71599740c132cdf5b45b9d
0x45cda12e3bafe3017b4b3cd62c493e5fbaad7fb0
0xef999dbdb19ccca504eef5432cec69ea8a1d4a1b
0x4489ab46a230c1876578441d68f25bf968e6f2b0

But the actual address values will most likely differ in your case (as will other values, such as object IDs, in the latter parts of this tutorial). Consequently, do not copy and paste the actual command from this tutorial as they are unlikely to work for you verbatim. Each time you create a config for the client, addresses and object IDs will be assigned randomly. Consequently, you cannot rely on copy-pasting commands that include these values, as they will be different between different users/configs.

Active address

Since a Sui CLI client manages multiple disjointed addresses, one might need to specify which address they want to call a command on.

For convenience, one can choose to set a default, or active address that will be used for commands that require an address to operate on. A default address is picked at the start, but this can be changed later.

In order to see what the current active address is, use the command active-address

$ sui client active-address

Which will reveal an address resembling:

0x562f07cf6369e8d22dbf226a5bfedc6300014837

Changing the default address is as easy as calling the switch command:

$ sui client switch --address 0x913cf36f370613ed131868ac6f9da2420166062e

You will see output like:

Active address switched to 0x913cf36f370613ed131868ac6f9da2420166062e

One can call, for example, the objects command with or without an address specified. When not specified, the active address is used.

$ sui client objects
                 Object ID                  |  Version   |                    Digest                    |   Owner Type    |               Object Type               
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 0x66eaa38c8ea99673a92a076a00101ab9b3a06b55 |     0      | j8qLxVk/Bm9iMdhPf9b7HcIMQIAM+qCd8LfPAwKYrFo= |  AddressOwner   |      0x2::coin::Coin<0x2::sui::SUI>

$ sui client objects --address 0x913cf36f370613ed131868ac6f9da2420166062e
                 Object ID                  |  Version   |                    Digest                    |   Owner Type    |               Object Type               
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 0x66eaa38c8ea99673a92a076a00101ab9b3a06b55 |     0      | j8qLxVk/Bm9iMdhPf9b7HcIMQIAM+qCd8LfPAwKYrFo= |  AddressOwner   |      0x2::coin::Coin<0x2::sui::SUI>

All commands where address is omitted will now use the newly specified active address: 0x913cf36f370613ed131868ac6f9da2420166062e

Note that if one calls a command that uses a gas object not owned by the active address, the address owned by the gas object is temporarily used for the transaction.

Paying For transactions with gas objects

All Sui transactions require a gas object for payment, as well as a budget. However, specifying the gas object can be cumbersome; so in the CLI, one is allowed to omit the gas object and leave the client to pick an object that meets the specified budget. This gas selection logic is currently rudimentary as it does not combine/split gas as needed but currently picks the first object it finds that meets the budget. Note that one can always specify their own gas if they want to manage the gas themselves.

⚠️ A gas object cannot be part of the transaction while also being used to pay for the transaction. For example, one cannot try to transfer gas object X while paying for the transaction with gas object X. The gas selection logic checks for this and rejects such cases.

To see how much gas is in an account, use the gas command. Note that this command uses the active-address, unless otherwise specified.

$ sui client gas

You will see output like:

                Object ID                   |  Version   |  Gas Value
------------------------------------------------------------------------
 0x0b8a4620426e526fa42995cf26eb610bfe6bf063 |     0      |   100000
 0x3c0763ccdea4ff5a4557505a62ab5e1daf91f4a2 |     0      |   100000
 0x45a589a9e760d7f75d399327ac0fcba21495c22e |     0      |   100000
 0x4c377a3a9d4b1b9c92189dd12bb1dcd0302a954b |     0      |   100000
 0xf2961464ac6860a05d21b48c020b7e121399965c |     0      |   100000

If one does not want to use the active address, the addresses can be specified:

$ sui client gas --address 0x562f07cf6369e8d22dbf226a5bfedc6300014837
                Object ID                   |  Version   |  Gas Value
------------------------------------------------------------------------
 0xa8ddc2661a19010e5f85cbf6d905ddfbe4dd0320 |     0      |   100000

 0xb41bf45b01c9befce3a0a371e2b98e062691438d |     0      |   100000
 0xba9e10f319182f3bd584edb92c7899cc6d018723 |     0      |   100000
 0xf8bfe77a5b21e7abfa3bc285991f9da4e5cc2d7b |     0      |   100000

Adding accounts to the client

Sui's genesis process will create five accounts by default; if that's not enough, there are two ways to add accounts to the Sui CLI client if needed.

Generating a new account

To create a new account, execute the new-address command:

$ sui client new-address

The output shows a confirmation after the account has been created:

Created new keypair for address : 0xc72cf3adcc4d11c03079cef2c8992aea5268677a

Add existing accounts to `client.yaml` manually

If you have an existing key pair from an old client config, you can copy the account address manually to the new client.yaml's accounts section, and add the key pair to the keystore file; you won't be able to mutate objects if the account key is missing from the keystore.

Restart the Sui console after the modification; the new accounts will appear in the client if you query the addresses.

View objects owned by the address

You can use the objects command to view the objects owned by the address.

objects command usage:

sui-client-objects 
Obtain all objects owned by the address

USAGE:
    sui client objects [OPTIONS]

OPTIONS:
        --address <ADDRESS>    Address owning the objects
    -h, --help                 Print help information
        --json                 Return command outputs in json format

To view the objects owned by the addresses created in genesis, run the following command (substituting the address with one of the genesis addresses in your client):

$ sui client objects --address 0x66af3898e7558b79e115ab61184a958497d1905a

The result should resemble the following.

                 Object ID                  |  Version   |                    Digest                    |   Owner Type    |               Object Type               
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 0x66eaa38c8ea99673a92a076a00101ab9b3a06b55 |     0      | j8qLxVk/Bm9iMdhPf9b7HcIMQIAM+qCd8LfPAwKYrFo= |  AddressOwner   |      0x2::coin::Coin<0x2::sui::SUI>

Showing 5 results.

If you want to view more information about the objects, you can use the object command.

Usage of object command :

sui-client-object 
Get object info

USAGE:
    sui client object [OPTIONS] --id <ID>

OPTIONS:
    -h, --help       Print help information
        --id <ID>    Object ID of the object to fetch
        --json       Return command outputs in json format

To view the object, use the following command:

$ sui client object --id 0x66eaa38c8ea99673a92a076a00101ab9b3a06b55

This should give you output similar to the following:

----- Move Object (0x66eaa38c8ea99673a92a076a00101ab9b3a06b55[0]) -----
Owner: Account Address ( 0xb02b5e57fe3572f94ad5ac2a17392bfb3261f7a0 )
Version: 0
Storage Rebate: 0
Previous Transaction: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=
----- Data -----
type: 0x2::coin::Coin<0x2::sui::SUI>
balance: 100000
id: 0x66eaa38c8ea99673a92a076a00101ab9b3a06b55[0]

The result shows some basic information about the object, the owner, version, ID, if the object is immutable and the type of the object.

Important: To gain a deeper view into the object, include the --json flag in the sui client command to see the raw JSON representation of the object.

Here is example json output:

{
  "data": {
    "dataType": "moveObject",
    "type": "0x2::coin::Coin<0x2::sui::SUI>",
    "has_public_transfer": true,

  }
}

Transferring coins

Coins are objects yet have a specific use case that allow for native commands like transfer-coin/merge-coin/split-coin to be used. This is different from non-coin objects that can only be mutated via Move calls.

If you inspect a newly created account, you would expect the account does not own any object. Let us inspect the fresh account we create in the Generating a new account section (C72CF3ADCC4D11C03079CEF2C8992AEA5268677A):

$ sui client objects --address 0xc72cf3adcc4d11c03079cef2c8992aea5268677a
                 Object ID                  |  Version   |                                Digest
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Showing 0 results.

To add objects to the account, you can invoke a Move function, or you can transfer one of the existing coins from the genesis account to the new account using a dedicated Sui client command. We will explore how to transfer coins using the Sui CLI client in this section.

transfer-coin command usage:

sui-client-transfer-coin 
Transfer coin object

USAGE:
    sui client transfer-coin [OPTIONS] --to <TO> --coin-object-id <COIN_OBJECT_ID> --gas-budget <GAS_BUDGET>

OPTIONS:
        --coin-object-id <COIN_OBJECT_ID>
            Coin to transfer, in 20 bytes Hex string

        --gas <GAS>
            ID of the gas object for gas payment, in 20 bytes Hex string If not provided, a gas
            object with at least gas_budget value will be selected

        --gas-budget <GAS_BUDGET>
            Gas budget for this transfer

    -h, --help
            Print help information

        --json
            Return command outputs in json format

        --to <TO>
            Recipient address

To transfer a coin object to a recipient, you will need the recipient's address, the object ID of the coin that you want to transfer, and optionally the coin object ID for the transaction fee payment. If a gas coin is not specified, one that meets the budget is picked. Gas budget sets a cap for how much gas you want to spend. We are still finalizing our gas metering mechanisms. For now, just set something large enough.

Here is an example transfer of an object to account 0xf456ebef195e4a231488df56b762ac90695be2dd:

$ sui client transfer-coin --to 0xf456ebef195e4a231488df56b762ac90695be2dd --coin-object-id 0x66eaa38c8ea99673a92a076a00101ab9b3a06b55 --gas-budget 100

With output like:

Creating example NFTs

You may create an NFT-like object on Sui using the following command:

$ sui client create-example-nft

You will see output resembling:

Merging and splitting coin objects

Overtime, the account might receive coins from other accounts and will become unmanageable when the number of coins grows; contrarily, the account might need to split the coins for payment or for transfer to another account.

We can use the merge-coin command and split-coin command to consolidate or split coins, respectively.

Merge coins

Usage of merge-coin:

sui-client-merge-coin 
Merge two coin objects into one coin

USAGE:
    sui client merge-coin [OPTIONS] --primary-coin <PRIMARY_COIN> --coin-to-merge <COIN_TO_MERGE> --gas-budget <GAS_BUDGET>

OPTIONS:
        --coin-to-merge <COIN_TO_MERGE>
            Coin to be merged, in 20 bytes Hex string

        --gas <GAS>
            ID of the gas object for gas payment, in 20 bytes Hex string If not provided, a gas
            object with at least gas_budget value will be selected

        --gas-budget <GAS_BUDGET>
            Gas budget for this call

    -h, --help
            Print help information

        --json
            Return command outputs in json format

        --primary-coin <PRIMARY_COIN>
            Coin to merge into, in 20 bytes Hex string

Here is an example of how to merge coins. To merge coins, you will need at lease three coin objects - two coin objects for merging, and one for the gas payment. You also need to specify the maximum gas budget that should be expanded for the coin merge operations. Let us examine objects owned by address 0x3cbf06e9997b3864e3baad6bc0f0ef8ec423cd75 and use the first coin (gas) object as the one to be the result of the merge, the second one to be merged, and the third one to be used as payment:

$ sui client objects --address 0x3cbf06e9997b3864e3baad6bc0f0ef8ec423cd75

And its output:

                 Object ID                  |  Version   |                    Digest                    |   Owner Type    |               Object Type

Showing 5 results.

Then we merge:

$ sui client merge-coin --primary-coin 0x1e90389f5d70d7fa6ce973155460e1c04deae194 --coin-to-merge 0x351f08f03709cebea85dcd20e24b00fbc1851c92 --gas-budget 1000

Split coins

Usage of split-coin:

sui-client-split-coin 
Split a coin object into multiple coins

USAGE:
    sui client split-coin [OPTIONS] --coin-id <COIN_ID> --amounts <AMOUNTS>... --gas-budget <GAS_BUDGET>

OPTIONS:
        --amounts <AMOUNTS>...       Amount to split out from the coin
        --coin-id <COIN_ID>          Coin to Split, in 20 bytes Hex string

From the result, we can see three new coins were created in the transaction.

Calling Move code

The genesis state of the Sui platform includes Move code that is immediately ready to be called from Sui CLI. Please see our Move developer documentation for the first look at Move source code and a description of the following function we will be calling in this tutorial:

public entry fun transfer(c: coin::Coin<SUI>, recipient: address) {
    coin::transfer(c, Address::new(recipient))
}

Please note that there is no real need to use a Move call to transfer coins as this can be accomplished with a built-in Sui client command - we chose this example due to its simplicity.

Now that we know which objects are owned by that address, we can transfer one of them to another address, say the fresh one we created in the Generating a new account section (0xc72cf3adcc4d11c03079cef2c8992aea5268677a). We can try any object, but for the sake of this exercise, let's choose the last one on the list.

We will perform the transfer by calling the transfer function from the sui module using the following Sui client command:

$ sui client call --function transfer --module sui --package 0x2 --args 0x471c8e241d0473c34753461529b70f9c4ed3151b 0x3cbf06e9997b3864e3baad6bc0f0ef8ec423cd75 --gas-budget 1000

This is a pretty complicated command so let's explain all of its parameters one-by-one:

--function - name of the function to be called
--module - name of the module containing the function
--package - ID of the package object where the module containing the function is located. (Remember that the ID of the genesis Sui package containing the GAS module is defined in its manifest file, and is equal to 0x2.)
--args - a list of function arguments formatted as SuiJSON values (hence the preceding 0x in address and object ID):
- ID of the gas object representing the c parameter of the transfer function
- address of the new gas object owner
--gas - an optional object containing gas used to pay for this function call
--gas-budget - a decimal value expressing how much gas we are willing to pay for the transfer call to be completed to avoid accidental drain of all gas in the gas pay)

Note the third argument to the transfer function representing TxContext does not have to be specified explicitly - it is a required argument for all functions callable from Sui and is auto-injected by the platform at the point of a function call.

The output of the call command is a bit verbose, but the important information that should be printed at the end indicates objects changes as a result of the function call:

This output indicates the gas object was updated to collect gas payment for the function call, and the transferred object was updated as its owner had been modified. We can confirm the latter (and thus a successful execution of the transfer function) by querying objects that are now owned by the sender:

$ sui client objects --address 0x48ff0a932b12976caec91d521265b009ad5b2225
                 Object ID                  |  Version   |                    Digest                    |   Owner Type    |               Object Type

Showing 4 results.

We can now see this address no longer owns the transferred object. And if we inspect this object, we can see it has the new owner, different from the original one:

$ sui client object --id 0x471c8e241d0473c34753461529b70f9c4ed3151b

Resulting in:

Publish packages

In order for user-written code to be available in Sui, it must be published to Sui's distributed ledger. Please see the Move developer documentation for a description on how to write a simple Move code package, which we can publish using Sui client's publish command.

The publish command requires us to specify a directory where the user-defined package lives. It's the path to the my_move_package as per the package creation description, a gas object that will be used to pay for publishing the package (we use the same gas object we used to pay for the function call in the Calling Move code) section, and gas budget to put an upper limit we use 1000 as our gas budget.

Let us use the same address for publishing that we used for calling Move code in the previous section (0x3cbf06e9997b3864e3baad6bc0f0ef8ec423cd75) which now has 4 objects left:

$ sui client objects --address 0x3cbf06e9997b3864e3baad6bc0f0ef8ec423cd75

Outputting:

                 Object ID                  |  Version   |                    Digest                    |   Owner Type    |               Object Type

The whole command to publish a package for address 0x3cbf06e9997b3864e3baad6bc0f0ef8ec423cd75 resembles the following (assuming that the location of the package's sources is in the PATH_TO_PACKAGE environment variable):

$ sui client publish --path $PATH_TO_PACKAGE/my_move_package --gas-budget 30000

Please note that running this command resulted in creating an object representing the published package. From now on, we can use the package object ID (0xdbcee02bd4eb326122ced0a8540f15a057d82850) in the Sui client's call command just like we used 0x2 for built-in packages in the Calling Move code section.

Another object created as a result of package publishing is a user-defined object (of type Forge) crated inside initializer function of the (only) module included in the published package - see the part of Move developer documentation concerning module initializers for more details on module initializers.

Finally, we see that the gas object that was used to pay for publishing was updated as well.
