CLIs

The æternity Command Line Interfaces (CLIs) provide powerful tools for interacting with the æternity blockchain directly from your terminal. The Sophia CLI focuses on smart contract development, allowing you to compile, test, and deploy Sophia contracts with ease. The æternity CLI enables direct blockchain interactions such as managing accounts, sending transactions, and working with oracles or names through simple terminal commands. These tools are essential for developers who prefer command-line workflows or need to automate blockchain interactions in their development process.

Note: Throughout this documentation, we'll refer to the æternity CLI (aepp-cli-js) as either "æternity CLI" or "aepp CLI" for consistency.
