Seid CLI

Seid is a command-line tool for interacting with the Sei blockchain. This page will guide you through setting up Seid and introduce some basic commands to get you started.

Prerequisites

Go 1.19+: Installation instructions are available here (opens in a new tab).

Installation

To install Seid, locate the Seid version you wish to use here (opens in a new tab), and then execute the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/sei-protocol/sei-chain
cd sei-chain
git checkout v4.1.4-evm-devnet
make install

You can verify that Seid was installed correctly by running:

seid version

If you encounter an error like command not found: seid, you may need to set your GOPATH environment variable.

Use go env GOPATH to find your GOPATH

Add the following lines to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc:

export GOPATH=[your GOPATH from step 1]
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin
