npx @extra-wallet/send-transaction

This will:

  • download the CLI on demand,
  • start the interactive terminal UI

Option 2: Run locally from the repository (development)​

Use this if you want to:

  • inspect the code,
  • modify the CLI,
  • contribute or debug.

Requirements​

  • Node.js (v22)
  • pnpm

1. Install dependencies​

From the repository root:

pnpm install

2. Build shared code​

cd shared/sdk
pnpm build

3. Return to the root of the repository​

How to use​

The CLI can be run in two modes: interactive and non-interactive

To run the program in interactive mode you just have to follow the instructions of the previous step. In this mode you will be asked for needed inputs step by step.

To run the program in non-interactive mode you have to also specify arguments using flags like this:

npx send-transaction --network="arbitrum" --extrawallet-key="..." --input="{...}"

To get information about every argument, you can use help command:

npx send-transaction help
