tevm compile
tevm compile runs this operation: Compile Solidity smart contracts to bytecode and ABI. Reach for it when you need the operation from a terminal, CI job, or shell script.
Working example
The commands below were run with @tevm/cli@1.0.0-rc.151. They create their own local prerequisites or use the named public endpoint, so no hidden process is required.
npm install --global @tevm/cli@1.0.0-rc.151
mkdir -p src
cat > src/Counter.sol <<'SOLIDITY'
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.20;
contract Counter {
uint256 public number;
}
SOLIDITY
tevm compile --jsonOutput captured from the final command:
{
"ok": true,
"command": "compile",
"result": {
"artifacts": [
"artifacts/Counter.json"
]
}
}Arguments and flags
The command schema in packages/tevm-cli/src/commands/compile.tsx exposes:

--json and --session <name> are global options accepted before routing. See the CLI overview for their environment-variable forms and execution model.
