Compiling

💡

Ensure that your CLI is up to date before compiling.

`aptos move compile`

Once you have a package set up, you can compile your Move code by doing:

Terminal

aptos move compile

If run successfully, you should receive a Terminal output like so

Terminal

{
  "Result": [
    "<ADDRESS_FROM_MOVE.TOML>::<MODULE_NAME>"
  ]
}

Unpacking Build

Compiled Move packages contain a folder structure that resembles the one below.

- - module_name.mv
- - module_name.mvsm
- - module_name.move
- BuildInfo.yaml

module_name.move

Move.toml

`bytecode_modules`

The bytecode modules folder contains the compiled Move bytecode for your module(s) (such as module_name.mv). To learn more about the bytecode and its security features, see why move?

`source_maps`

The source maps folder contains source maps (such as module_name.mvsm) which allow users to map the compiled bytecode back to the source code and relevant dependencies.
