How to deploy your smart contract to eos network

Install requirements

1. Install eos to get tools:

- cleos
- keosd
- nodeos

We will use cleos and keosd to create a wallet

2. Install eosio.cdt to get tools:

- eosio-cpp
- eosio-cc
- eosio-ld
- eosio-init
- eosio-abidiff
- eosio-wasm2wast
- eosio-wast2wasm
- eosio-ranlib
- eosio-ar
- eosio-objdump
- eosio-readelf

We will use eosio-cpp to build the smart contract

3. Create a wallet

• Open a terminal, then run keosd firstly

$ keosd

• Secondly, open one more terminal

$ cleos wallet create -n mywallet --to-console 

Creating wallet: mywallet
Save password to use in the future to unlock this wallet.
Without password imported keys will not be retrievable.
"PW5J6ULLq6efnnrwCZzkeZe9M4yLkSuZPxw6JCjMihmM7F8ojxsDq"

Keep in mind that save your password of the wallet to a safe place because one can use it the next time.

4. Import your private key to the wallet

If you do not have an account on testnet or mainnet, you have to create a new one first by going to:

• Testnet: http://monitor3.jungletestnet.io/#home
• Mainnet: https://eos-account-creator.com/choose/

Then, import your private key to the wallet:

$ cleos wallet import --private-key [your-private-key] -n mywallet

5. Complie the smart contract

Go to the smart contract source code then do:

$ eosio-cpp -I include src/mycontract.cpp -o mycontract.wasm

Deploy the smart contract

1. To the testnet

$ cleos -u https://jungle2.cryptolions.io set contract your-eos-account . mycontract.wasm mycontract.abi

2. To the mainnet

$ cleos -u https://api.main.alohaeos.com set contract your-eos-account . mycontract.wasm mycontract.abi

**Note**: There are common errors that you may get during deploy the smart contract:

- The wallet is locked.

```sh
Error 3120003: Locked wallet
Ensure that your wallet is unlocked before using it!
Error Details:
You don't have any unlocked wallet!

then you have to unlock your wallet by the password in #3 by following:

$ cleos wallet unlock -n mywallet --password PW5J6ULLq6efnnrwCZzkeZe9M4yLkSuZPxw6JCjMihmM7F8ojxsDq

• Your account has insufficient RAM.

Error 3080001: Account using more than allotted RAM usage
Error Details:
account playnwingems has insufficient ram; needs 176746 bytes has 4398 bytes

then you have to buy more RAM for your account.

$ cleos -u https://jungle2.cryptolions.io system buyram your-eos-account your-eos-account  "1 EOS" -p your-eos-account
$ cleos -u https://api.main.alohaeos.com system buyram your-eos-account your-eos-account  "1 EOS" -p your-eos-account

Check the smart contract

• Testnet: https://eos-test.bloks.io/
• Mainnet:https://bloks.io/
