Create a project

Most of the TronBox commands are run under the directories of TronBox projects. So the first step is to create a TronBox project. We'll use tronbox init to create a MetaCoin project, which creates a token that can be transferred between accounts.

1. Create a directory for MetaCoin:

Terminal

mkdir MetaCoin
cd MetaCoin

2. Run the following command in the empty directory and select Create a MetaCoin project:

Terminal

tronbox init

TIP

NOTE: You can also download other project templates with tronbox unbox.

Once this operation is completed, you will have a project directory structure with the following items:

• contracts/: Directory for Solidity contracts
• migrations/: Directory for scriptable deployment files
• test/: Directory for test contracts
• tronbox-config.js: TronBox configuration file
