# Deploy a Contract

## PreRequisite

Make sure you follow the [compile a contract](/developer-guides/cosmwasm-contract/compile-contract.md) guide first for your project. Once you have a contract compiled in the artifacts/\*.wasm directory, you are ready for this guide.

This guide will show you how to deploy and interact with a contract using CLI.

## Upload Contract

You need to upload the contract via the CLI to chain. To do this, perform the following

```bash
TXFLAGS="--chain-id Oraichain --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.5 --fees 1000orai --node https://rpc.orai.io"

oraid tx wasm store artifacts/CONRTACT_NAME.wasm \
    --from <KEY> $TXFLAGS -y
```

This will then return a transaction hash. With this data, you need to query it to get the code id of the contract on chain

```bash
oraid q tx 38330E909CD219B80927009DA37FD69D334D19B2AD4EC47456A24E85034F0085 --output json --node https://rpc.orai.io
```

This will return the data about the transaction, and give us the code id of our contract

```

We can see events with type store\_code shows the code\_id being 1. If you wish the automate this return code in bash to a variable, you can

```bash
# ensure jq is installed
UPLOAD_TX_HASH=38330E909CD219B80927009DA37FD69D334D19B2AD4EC47456A24E85034F0085
CODE_ID=$(oraid q tx $UPLOAD_TX_HASH --output json | jq -r '.events[] | select(.type == "store_code") | .attributes[] | select(.key == "code_id") | .value') && echo "Code Id: $CODE_ID"
```

## Instantiate

With the code now being up on chain, we can now run logic to setup our own copy of the contract which we control. This will then give us a unique contract address for others to interact with in accordance with the contract logic. This example is from the [cosmwasm/cw-template](https://github.com/CosmWasm/cw-template).

Ensure you change CODE\_ID to match your code id from the store code

<pre class="language-sh"><code class="lang-sh"># Manual
CODE_ID=1
oraid tx wasm instantiate $CODE_ID  --label "some-contract" $FLAGS -y --admin &#x3C;your-address-here>
<strong># then query the tranasaction hash as we do above.
</strong>
# Automated return of the contract address
CODE_ID=1
TX_INIT=$(oraid tx wasm instantiate "$CODE_ID" '{"count":0}' --label "contract" $FLAGS -y --admin &#x3C;your-address-here> | jq -r '.txhash') &#x26;&#x26; echo $TX_INIT
CONTRACT_ADDR=$($BINARY query tx $TX_INIT --output json | jq -r '.events[] | select(.type == "instantiate") | .attributes[] | select(.key == "_contract_address") | .value') &#x26;&#x26; echo "CONTRACT_ADDR: $CONTRACT_ADDR"
</code></pre>
