Deploying the Contract

To deploy the contract, we'll use the Aptos CLI. We'll assume you have already run the command aptos init for the default profile. If you have not, go check out the hello_aptos_cli tutorial.

In order to deploy the contract, we'll run the below command that will compile the contract, and then ask you if you're sure that you want to deploy it.

aptos move deploy --named-addresses module_addr=default

Once it's deployed, you should be able to see your contract on your network and your address in the Aptos Explorer. This uploads your source code by default, so it's easily verifiable and easy to tell which functions are which.

Upgrading the Contract

To upgrade the contract, simply run the command again:

aptos move deploy --named-addresses module_addr=default
