Compiling a Contract

To compile a contract, use:

viper yourFileName.v.py

Note

Since .vy is not official a language supported by any syntax highlighters or linters, it is recommended to name your Viper file ending with .v.py in order to have Python syntax highlighting.

An online compiler is available as well, which lets you experiment with the language without having to install Viper. The online compiler allows you to compile to bytecode and/or LLL.

Note

While the viper version of the online compiler is updated on a regular basis it might be a bit behind the latest version found in the master branch of the repository.
