Compiling

aptos move compile

Once you have a package set up, you can compile your Move code by doing:

aptos move compile

If run successfully, you should receive a Terminal output like so

{
  "Result": [
    "<ADDRESS_FROM_MOVE.TOML>::<MODULE_NAME>"
  ]
}

Unpacking Build

Compiled Move packages contain a folder structure that resembles the one below.

bytecode_modules

The bytecode modules folder contains the compiled Move bytecode for your module(s) (such as module_name.mv). To learn more about the bytecode and its security features, see why move?

source_maps

The source maps folder contains source maps (such as module_name.mvsm) which allow users to map the compiled bytecode back to the source code and relevant dependencies.
