cargo install near-cli-rsor, install the most recent version from git repository:
$ cargo install --git https://github.com/near/near-cli-rsInstall on CI (GitHub Actions)
It is often desirable to use near CLI from CI to automate some actions, so here is an example of how you can make a function call during CI:
name: Release
on:
push:
branches: [main]
jobs:
deploy-widgets:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
name: Make a function call on mainnet
env:
NEAR_NETWORK_CONNECTION: mainnet
NEAR_CONTRACT_ACCOUNT_ID: ${{ vars.NEAR_CONTRACT_ACCOUNT_ID }}
NEAR_SIGNER_ACCOUNT_ID: ${{ vars.NEAR_SIGNER_ACCOUNT_ID }}
NEAR_SIGNER_ACCOUNT_PUBLIC_KEY: ${{ vars.NEAR_SIGNER_ACCOUNT_PUBLIC_KEY }}
NEAR_SIGNER_ACCOUNT_PRIVATE_KEY: ${{ secrets.NEAR_SIGNER_ACCOUNT_PRIVATE_KEY }}
