# CIC token deployment tool

CIC-CLI provides tooling to generate and publish metadata in relation to
token deployments.

To install the project (replacing \<VERSION> with the current version:
0.0.1):

``` shell
python setup.py sdist
pip install --extra-index-url https://pip.grassrootseconomics.net:8433 dist/cic-<VERSION>.tar.gz
```

## Structure of the components

![image](components.svg)

CIC-CLI is designed to interface any network type backend. The current
state of the package contains interface to EVM only. Thus, the examples
below are limited to the context of the EVM.

## Preparing for EVM token deployment

Some of the concepts described below assume familiarity with base
concepts of the CIC architecture. Please refer to the appropriate
documentation for more information.

To initialize a new token deployment for the EVM:

``` shell
cic init --target eth --name <token_name> --symbol <token_symbol> --precision <token_value_precision> <settings_folder>
```

To automatically fill in settings detected in the network for the EVM:

``` shell
cic ext --registry <contract_registry_address> -d <settings_folder> -i <chain_spec> -p <rpc_endpoint> eth
```
