init

The init command will generate the project configuration file within your current working directory:

medusa init [platform] [flags]

By default, the project configuration file will be named medusa.json. You can learn more about medusa's project configuration here and also view an example project configuration file.

Invoking this command without a platform argument will result in medusa using crytic-compile as the default compilation platform. Currently, the only other supported platform is solc. If you are using a compilation platform such as Foundry or Hardhat, it is best to use crytic-compile.

Supported Flags

--out

The --out flag allows you to specify the output path for the project configuration file. Thus, you can name the file something different from medusa.json or have the configuration file be placed elsewhere in your filesystem.

# Set config file path
medusa init --out myConfig.json

--compilation-target

The --compilation-target flag allows you to specify the compilation target. If you are using crytic-compile, please review the warning here about changing the compilation target.

# Set compilation target
medusa init --compilation-target TestMyContract.sol
