Install, Compile, Test and Deploy Truffle Project on Ganache Network (via Truffle CLI) or Sepolia Network (via Truffle Dashboard)

1. Installation of Truffle

a. On Ubuntu
b. On Windows

2. Create or Unbox a Truffle project

a. Unbox an existing Truffle Project
b. Create a bare Truffle Project

3. Compile a Truffle Project

4. Test the Smart Contracts in Truffle Project

5. Deploy the Truffle Project

a. Deploy via Truffle Command Line Interface
b. Deploy via Truffle Dashboard

==============================================

Step - 1: Installation of Truffle

a. On Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Follow the steps to install Truffle as per the tutorial

b. On Windows

Install Nodejs

Go to Nodejs website and download the stable version.

Install Truffle

On the command prompt, check the version of nodejs node -v
Check the version of nvm npm -v
Type : npm install -g truffle

Check the version of Truffle truffle version
To install Ganachenpm install -g ganache

Install VS Code

Go to the Visual Studio Code and download the Windows version

Add Solidity extension on VS

Step - 2: Create or Unbox a Truffle project

(a). Unbox an existing Truffle Project - MetaCoin

On the Terminal : mkdir MetaCoin
Go to the folder: cd MetaCoin
Unbox the Truffle Project : truffle unbox metacoin

(b) To create a bare project that doesn’t come with any smart contract or boilerplate code, type: `truffle init`

The following directory structure is created :

.
├── contracts           <-- solidity contracts live here
├── migrations          <-- migration scripts live here
├── test                <-- tests (Solidity and JS) live here
└── truffle-config.js   <-- truffle configuration file

Step - 3 : Compile a Truffle Project

On the VS Terminal : truffle compile

To resolve this issue run the following commands on the VS Terminal

set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

Get-ExecutionPolicy

Get-ExecutionPolicy -list

This command generates .json files corresponding to each Smart Contract.

Step - 4 : Test the Smart Contracts

The test files are saved in the folder, test with an extension .js
For the sample project created the file name : metacoin.js

Run the Command : truffle test

Step - 5 : Deploy Truffle Project

a: Deploying the Smart Contract via Truffle Command Line Interface

In the Project folder there is a configuration file : truffle-config.js.
In this file uncomment the development network parameters and set the port number as 7545 as shown below

Start the Ganache Environment.
Select a new Workspace and name: Metacoin
Add the Project configuration file: truffle-config.js

Type the command : truffle migrate --reset

On the Ganache Environment - Account Tab: 5 transactions are reported corresponding to the deployment

On the Ganache Environment - Blocks tab, 5 blocks are created in the Ganache environment

On the Ganache Environment - Transactions Tab: Contract creation details are listed

On the Ganache Environment - Contracts Tab: Contract deployment details are listed

On Ganache Environment - Events Tab: Contract registered event is reported

b: Deploy via Truffle Dashboard

Run the command truffle dashboard on the VSCode Terminal

Truffle Dashboard is running on http://localhost:24012/rpc

Login to the Metamask Wallet and select the Network as Sepolia Testnet

Run the commnad truffle migrate --network dashboard

This command starts to deploy the smart contract : ConvertLib.sol
On the Truffle Dashboard, there will be a prompt to confirm the deployment of the smart Contract : ConvertLib.sol
Click the Confirm button

Metamask extension will popup for confirmation.
Click the Confirm button

The status of the transaction is displayed on the Metamask popup window

Next the migrate command starts to deploy the smart contract : MetaCoin.sol
On the Truffle Dashboard, there will be a prompt to confirm the deployment of the smart Contract : MetaCoin.sol
Click the Confirm button
