I will do all the necessary steps on Ubuntu. We have two options: easy (my guide) and not so easy (server rental). We will go the simple way. For this one, you must have a [**Github**](https://github.com/) account.

Create a new repository and name it "**Hello SUI**", for example.

After creating the repository, go to this site

[https://www.gitpod.io/](https://www.gitpod.io/)

and log in with our Github profile.

Next, create a new workspace and select our created repository.

The terminal opens (the Get started window at the top can be closed).

We need to install all the necessary components to deploy a smart contract.

Now paste the commands one by one into the terminal and click Enter (**to paste the copied text into the terminal right-click**).

> sudo apt-get update
> 
> sudo apt install curl -y
> 
> sudo apt-get install git-all -y
> 
> sudo apt install cmake -y
> 
> dpkg -L cmake
> 
> sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
> 
> sudo apt-get install libclang-dev -y
> 
> curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf [https://sh.rustup.rs](https://sh.rustup.rs/) | sh

**Type 1 and press Enter**

> cargo install --locked --git [https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui.git](https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui.git) --branch devnet sui

**This part takes a very long time to install. Just waiting.**

Continue.

> echo $PATH
> 
> cargo install --git [https://github.com/move-language/move](https://github.com/move-language/move) move-analyzer --features "address20"
> 
> sui client

Type next: 1) **y** and press **Enter**, 2) then **just press Enter**, 3) then type **0** and press **Enter**

Continue.

> sui client new-address ed25519

A wallet was created. Save the seed phrase and address to a text file.

We need to request test tokens to this wallet. There are several ways

*   Request tokens in SUI discord to our address.
    
*   Transfer some test tokens from another wallet.
    
*   Import the seed phrase into one of the SUI wallets (SUI wallet, Suiet etc) and request tokens in it.
    
    Continue.
    
    > sui client switch --address \[ADDRESS\]
    
    replace \[ADDRESS\] with the address obtained from the previous command

Continue.

> sui move new forge

Created a **forge** folder with an empty **source** folder and a **Move.toml** file

Go to the **source** folder and create the file **forge.move**

Go here

[https://github.com/Salvatorenodes/Hello-SUI/blob/main/example.move](https://github.com/Salvatorenodes/Hello-SUI/blob/main/example.move)

copy the code and paste the code into the **forge.move** file

Congratulations, you have deployed a smart contract! Save everything that goes into **Created ojects.**

Go to Sui explorer and search for your contract by typing the ID from **Created objects**.
