# Utility CLI
Utility CLI is your **human-friendly** companion that helps to interact with [Utility](https://utility.org) from command line.
Just run `unc` and let it guide you through!
## Install
Visit [Releases page](https://github.com/utnet-org/utility-cli-rs/releases/) to see the latest updates.
Install prebuilt binaries via shell script (macOS, Linux, WSL)
```sh
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://github.com/utnet-org/utility-cli-rs/releases/latest/download/utility-cli-rs-installer.sh | sh
```
Run prebuilt binaries with npx (Node.js)
```sh
npx utility-cli-rs
```
Install prebuilt binaries into your npm project (Node.js)
```sh
npm install utility-cli-rs
```
Compile and install from the source code (Cargo)
Install it with `cargo`, just make sure you have [Rust](https://rustup.rs) installed on your computer.
```bash
cargo install utility-cli-rs
```
or, install the most recent version from git repository:
```bash
cargo install --git https://github.com/utnet-org/utility-cli-rs
```
Install on CI (GitHub Actions)
It is often desirable to use `unc` cli from CI to automate some actions, so here is an example of how you can make a function call during CI:
```yml
name: Release
on:
push:
branches: [main]
jobs:
deploy-widgets:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
name: Make a function call on testnet
env:
UNC_NETWORK_CONNECTION: testnet
UNC_CONTRACT_ACCOUNT_ID: ${{ vars.UNC_CONTRACT_ACCOUNT_ID }}
UNC_SIGNER_ACCOUNT_ID: ${{ vars.UNC_SIGNER_ACCOUNT_ID }}
UNC_SIGNER_ACCOUNT_PUBLIC_KEY: ${{ vars.UNC_SIGNER_ACCOUNT_PUBLIC_KEY }}
UNC_SIGNER_ACCOUNT_PRIVATE_KEY: ${{ secrets.UNC_SIGNER_ACCOUNT_PRIVATE_KEY }}
steps:
- name: Checkout repository
uses: actions/checkout@v3
- name: Install unc cli
run: |
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://github.com/utnet-org/utility-cli-rs/releases/download/v0.8.2/utility-cli-rs-installer.sh | sh
- name: Call some function
run: |
unc contract call-function as-transaction "$UNC_CONTRACT_ACCOUNT_ID" 'function_name_here' json-args '{}' prepaid-gas '100 TeraGas' attached-deposit '0 unc' sign-as "$UNC_SIGNER_ACCOUNT_ID" network-config "$UNC_NETWORK_CONNECTION" sign-with-plaintext-private-key --signer-public-key "$UNC_SIGNER_ACCOUNT_PUBLIC_KEY" --signer-private-key "$UNC_SIGNER_ACCOUNT_PRIVATE_KEY" send
```
You will need to configure GitHub Actions Secrets and Variables and once it is ready, this CI will only take a couple of _seconds_ to complete!
See how it is used by [DevHub]([https://github.com/unc/devgigsboard](https://github.com/unc-DevHub/uncdevhub-contract/blob/05fb66ac307d84347f29e8e3ab9f429a78cb6513/.github/workflows/release.yml#L30-L41)).
## Run
Once installed, you just run it with `unc` command:
```bash
$ unc
? What are you up to? (select one of the options with the up-down arrows on your keyboard and press Enter)

The CLI interactively guides you through some pretty complex topics, helping you make informed decisions along the way.
