Navigate your StarkNet projects written in Cairo.

Nile is a CLI tool to develop or interact with StarkNet projects written in Cairo. It consists of different components for developing, compiling, testing, and deploying your smart contracts and dApps, providing a CLI for executing tasks, and a Runtime Environment (NRE) for scripting. The package is designed to be extensible and very customizable by using plugins.

On our documentation site you can find:

• A Quickstart walkthrough with commands examples
• Guides on how to master development with Nile
• Useful script examples
• Plugins

And more.

Current supported Python versions are >=3.9 and <3.10.
