# Deploy Smart Contract

## Create Project Directory <a href="#deploying-a-smart-contract-using-truffle" id="deploying-a-smart-contract-using-truffle"></a>

First, create a directory to store the source code

```shell
$ mkdir meverse-test
$ cd meverse-test
```

## Initialize Truffle

To deploy contract, initialize Truffle

```shell
$ truffle init
```

## Write simple solidity contract

Create `MEVerseGreeter.sol` at `meverse-test/contracts` directory

```shell
$ cd contracts
$ touch MEVerseGreeter.sol
$ vi MEVerseGreeter.sol
```

Write following code in `MEVerseGreeter.sol`

```javascript
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.5.6;
contract Mortal {
    /* Define Variable owner of the type address */
    address payable owner;
    /* This function is executed at initialization and sets the owner of the contract */
    constructor () public { owner = msg.sender; }
    /* Function to recover the funds on the contract */
    function kill() public payable { if (msg.sender == owner) selfdestruct(owner); }
}

contract MEVerseGreeter is Mortal {
    /* Define variable greeting of the type string */
    string greeting;
    /* This runs when the contract is executed */
    constructor (string memory _greeting) public {
        greeting = _greeting;
    }
    /* Main function */
    function greet() public view returns (string memory) {
        return greeting;
    }
}
```

## Modify Migration Script

Deploy contract with hdwallet-provider. Install the library first.

```shell
$ npm install @truffle/hdwallet-provider
```

* *you can also deploy contracts written via Truffle's **Dashboard**, please refer to the Dashboard for more details.*

> **Use Truffle Dashboard** : <https://trufflesuite.com/docs/truffle/how-to/use-the-truffle-dashboard/>

Modify **MEVerse Testnet network** information at truffle-config.js

```javascript
// truffle-config.js
const HDWalletProvider = require("@truffle/hdwallet-provider");
...
networks: {
    MEVerseTestnet: {
      provider: () =>
        new HDWalletProvider({
          privateKeys: [
            "adf...583a9", // 컨트랙트를 배포할 계정 private key
          ],
          providerOrUrl: "https://rpc.meversetestnet.io",
        }),
      network_id: 4759, // MEVerse testnet chain id
    }
}
```
