+Once you have [compiled](./compiling.md) your contracts you can proceed to deploying them using `aztec-cli`.
+
+## Prerequisites
+- aztec-cli installed
+- contract artifacts ready
+
+## Deploy
+
+To deploy the contracts you can use the `aztec-cli`
+
+```bash
+aztec-cli deploy --contract-abi /path/to/contract/abi.json
+```
+
+### Arguments
+This command takes the following mandatory arguments:
+
+- `--contract-abi <file>`: Path to the contract ABI file in JSON format (e.g. `build/contracts/PrivateToken.json`).
+Alternatively you can pass here a name of a contract ABI as exported by `@aztec/noir-contracts` (e.g. `PrivateTokenContractAbi`).
+
+and the following optional arguments:
+- `-args <constructorArgs...>` (default: `[]`): Arguments to pass to the contract constructor.
+- `--rpc-url <string>` (default: `http://localhost:8080`): URL of the Aztec node to connect to.
+- `--public-key <string>` (default: `undefined`): Optional encryption public key for this contract. Set this only if this contract is expected to receive private notes, which will be encrypted using this public key.'
+- `--salt <string>` (default: random value): Hexadecimal string used when computing the contract address of the contract being deployed.
+By default is set to a random value.
+Set it, if you need a deterministic contract address (same functionality as Ethereum's `CREATE2` opcode).
+
+```bash
+aztec-cli deploy --contract-abi <file> [-args <constructorArgs...>] [--rpc-url <string>] [--public-key <string>] [--salt <string>]
+```
