CLI Version

Requirements

• Ensure you have Node >= v20.9.0 and pnpm >= v9.13.2 installed on your machine.
• You will need an RPC that supports both ZK Compression and the DAS API. If you don't have one, you can get one for free at https://www.helius.dev
• You will need a valid Solana filesystem wallet. If you don't have one yet, visit the Solana documentation for details. The CLI will use this wallet for signing transactions, covering transaction fees, and as the owner of the token you wish to distribute.

Installation

Using npm

npm install -g helius-airship

Build from source using pnpm

git clone https://github.com/helius-labs/airship.git
cd airship
pnpm install && pnpm build
cd packages/cli
pnpm link --global
helius-airship --help

Example

To perform an airdrop, use the following command and follow the steps:

helius-airship --keypair /path/to/your/airdrop_wallet.json --url "https://mainnet.helius-rpc.com/?api-key=<YOUR_API_KEY>"

Replace /path/to/your/airdrop_wallet.json with the path to your Solana filesystem wallet that holds the token you wish to distribute and some SOL to pay for the transaction fees. Replace https://mainnet.helius-rpc.com/?api-key=<YOUR_API_KEY> with your RPC URL and API key.
