Install the Native Token Transfers CLI

Installation

In this video, the Wormhole team walks you through installing the Native Token Transfers (NTT) CLI. You’ll see a practical demonstration of running commands, verifying your installation, and addressing common issues that might arise. If you prefer to follow written instructions or want a quick reference for each step, scroll down for the detailed installation guide.

The fastest way to deploy Native Token Transfers (NTT) is using the NTT CLI. As prerequisites, ensure you have the following installed:

• Install Foundry
• Install Bun

Install the NTT CLI:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wormhole-foundation/native-token-transfers/main/cli/install.sh | bash

Verify the NTT CLI is installed:

ntt --version

Updating

To update an existing NTT CLI installation, run:

ntt update

Note

NTT CLI installations and updates will always pick up the latest tag with name vX.Y.Z+cli and verify that the underlying commit is included in main.

For local development, you can update your CLI version from a specific branch or install from a local path.

To install from a specific branch, run:

ntt update --branch foo

To install locally, run:

ntt update --path path/to/ntt/repo

Git branch and local installations enable a fast iteration loop as changes to the CLI code will immediately be reflected in the running binary without having to run any build steps.
