Deploying smart contract involves a lot of steps let’s uncover those steps and deploy our cosmwasm smart contract on the oraichain.

#️⃣ Steps we will be following to deploy our smart contract are :

1. Install all the prerequisites we need before deploying our smart contract
2. Setup our wallet and get some tokens
3. Build a contract using cwtools
4. Instantiate the contract using cosmwasm-ide
5. Deploy the smart contract .

#️⃣ Installing the pre-requisites for deploying our contract

For deploying our contract on Oraichain we need to have below listed tools :

• Cosmwasm IDE : A vs code extension crafted by the oraichain team , it makes really easy for us to deploy our cosmwasm smart contracts to Oraichain and interact with them to test their functionality .
• cw-tools : A npm package which helps us to build our smart contract into wasm files and even generates schemas for us .

Now let’s understand how to setup each of these tools

#️⃣ Installing cosmwasm IDE

For installing cosmwasm ide simply install it from this link .after installing it locally into your machine you should be having something like this
