Getting Started¶
Zeppelin integrates with Truffle, an Ethereum development environment. Please install Truffle and initialize your project with truffle init
:
npm install -g truffle
mkdir myproject && cd myproject
truffle init
To install the Zeppelin library, run:
npm i zeppelin-solidity
After that, you’ll get all the library’s contracts in the contracts/zeppelin folder. You can use the contracts in the library like so:
import "./zeppelin/Ownable.sol";
contract MyContract is Ownable {
...
}
NOTE: The current distribution channel is npm, which is not ideal. We’re looking into providing a better tool for code distribution , and ideas are welcome.
Truffle Beta Support¶
We also support Truffle Beta npm integration. If you’re using Truffle Beta, the contracts in node_modules
will be enough, so feel free to delete the copies at your contracts
folder. If you’re using Truffle Beta, you can use Zeppelin contracts like so:
import "zeppelin-solidity/contracts/Ownable.sol";
contract MyContract is Ownable {
...
}
For more info see the Truffle Beta package management tutorial.
