Install Sui TypeScript SDK

The Sui TypeScript SDK is available in the monorepo and NPM.

Install from NPM

To use the Sui TypeScript SDK in your project, run the following command in your project root:

npm i -D @mysten/sui.js

Experimental tag for use with a local Sui network

Projects developing against one of the on-chain Sui networks (Devnet, Testnet, Mainnet) should use the base SDK published in the NPM registry (previous section) because the code aligns with the relevant JSON-RPC. If your developing against a local network (opens in a new tab) built from the main branch of the Sui monorepo, however, you should use the experimental-tagged SDK package as it contains the latest features (or a local build detailed in the section that follows).

npm i -D @mysten/sui.js@experimental

Install from local build

To build the SDK from the Sui monorepo (opens in a new tab), you must use pnpm (opens in a new tab). With pnpm installed, run the following command from the sui root directory:

# Install all dependencies
pnpm install
# Run the build for the TypeScript SDK
pnpm sdk build

With the SDK built, you can import the library from your sui project. To do so, use a path to the sui/sdk/typescript directory that is relative to your project. For example, if you created a folder my-sui-project at the same level as sui, use the following to import the locally built Sui Typescript package:

pnpm add ../sui/sdk/typescript
