Using KomoDeFi CLI in Console

For convenience, the standalone komodefi-cli binary is provided to be used for interacting with the KomoDeFi network from the command line.

Refer to https://github.com/KomodoPlatform/komodo-defi-framework?tab=readme-ov-file#building-from-source for instructions on installing dependencies and preparing your build environment.

Once it is ready, you can build the komodefi-cli binary by running the following command from the root folder of the project repository:

cargo build --manifest-path ./mm2src/komodefi_cli/Cargo.toml --out-dir $(pwd)/bin -Z unstable-options

We also add the bin directory to the PATH environment variable so that the komodefi-cli binary can be executed from any location.

export PATH=${PATH}:$(pwd)/bin

You can customize the default root directory for komodefi-cli by setting the KOMODEFI_CLI_ROOT environment variable. This allows you to specify a location for saving configuration files, binaries, and other related data.

export KOMODEFI_CLI_ROOT=$HOME/komodefi-cli

Before using the komodefi-cli binary, you need to download the Core API binary. Running the following command to download the latest release:

komodefi-cli mm2 download

For the komodefi-cli to work, you need to configure the Core API by setting the coins data and the information required for an MM2.json file. For more information, run the following command:

komodefi-cli init --help

Which will return

Config is not set
Initialize a predefined coin set and configuration to start mm2 instance with

Usage: komodefi-cli init [OPTIONS]

Options:
      --mm-coins-path <MM_COINS_PATH>  Coin set file path [default: coins] [aliases: coins]
      --mm-conf-path <MM_CONF_PATH>    mm2 configuration file path [default: MM2.json] [aliases: conf]
  -h, --help                           Print help

If you have an existing coins file and/or MM2.json file, you can use the --mm-coins-path and --mm-conf-path options to specify the file paths, as below.

komodefi-cli init --mm-coins-path /path/to/coins --mm-conf-path /path/to/MM2.json

Alternatively, run komodefi-cli init without any options to create the coins and MM2.json files interactively. Pressing enter for each option will use the default values. In the case of the mnemonic phrase, you can enter your own mnemonic phrase or press enter to use a newly generated one.

$ komodefi-cli init

    Initialization done

After the configuration is set, you can start the Core API by running komodefi-cli mm2 start. You can also use the --help option to see the available options for this command:

komodefi-cli mm2 start -help  
Start mm2 instance  
  
Usage: komodefi-cli mm2 start [OPTIONS]  
  
Options:  
     --mm-conf-path <MM_CONF_PATH>    mm2 configuration file path [aliases: conf]  
     --mm-coins-path <MM_COINS_PATH>  Coin set file path [aliases: coins]  
     --mm-log <MM_LOG>                Log file path [aliases: log]  
 -h, --help                           Print help

For example, to start the Core API and save its runtime logs to ~/logs/mm2.log, you can run the following command:

$ komodefi-cli mm2 start --mm-log ~/logs/mm2.log  
> Set env MM_LOG as: ~/logs/mm2.log  
> Started child process: "mm2", pid: 459264

From here, you are ready to use the komodefi-cli binary to interact with the KomoDeFi network. You can use the --help option to see the available commands and options.
