+# Deploying contracts
+
+Once you have [compiled](./compiling.md) your contracts you can proceed to deploying them using `aztec-cli`.
+
+## Prerequisites
+- aztec-cli installed (go to [CLI main section](./main.md) for installation instructions)
+- contract artifacts ready (go to [Compiling contracts section](../contracts/compiling.md) for instructions on how to compile contracts)
+- aztec-sandbox running (go to [Sandbox section](../sandbox/main.md) for instructions on how to install and run the sandbox)
+
+## Deploy
+
+To deploy the contracts we use the `deploy` command from `aztec-cli`:
+
+```bash
+aztec-cli deploy /path/to/contract/abi.json
+```
+
+### Arguments
+This command takes 1 mandatory argument which is the path to the contract ABI file in a JSON format (e.g. `contracts/target/PrivateToken.json`). Alternatively you can pass the name of an example contract as exported by `@aztec/noir-contracts` (run `aztec-cli example-contracts` to see the full list of contracts available).
+
+The command also takes 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 (in such a case the public key is used during the note encryption).
+- `--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).
+
+To give you a more complete example we will deploy the `PrivateToken` contract whose artifacts are included in the `@aztec/noir-contracts` package.
+
+### Deploying private token contract
+The contract has `initial_supply` and `owner` as constructor arguments.
+Because the contract sends a note to the owner specified inside the constructor, we first need to register the owner as a recipient inside the Aztec RPC with the following command:
+
+```bash
+aztec-cli register-recipient --address 0x147392a39e593189902458f4303bc6e0a39128c5a1c1612f76527a162d36d529 --public-key 0x26e193aef4f83c70651485b5526c6d01a36d763223ab24efd1f9ff91b394ac0c20ad99d0ef669dc0dde8d5f5996c63105de8e15c2c87d8260b9e6f02f72af622 --partial-address 0x200e9a6c2d2e8352012e51c6637659713d336405c29386c7c4ac56779ab54fa7
+```
+
+> **NOTE**: If we didn't register owner as a recipient we could not encrypt a note for the owner and the contract deployment would fail because constructor execution would fail (we need owner's public key to encrypt a note).
+
+Once the recipient is registered we can deploy the contract:
+
+```bash
+aztec-cli deploy PrivateTokenContractAbi --args 1000 0x147392a39e593189902458f4303bc6e0a39128c5a1c1612f76527a162d36d529
+```
+
+If everything went as expected you should see the following output (with a different address):
+> Contract deployed at 0x151de6120ae6628129ee852c5fc7bcbc8531055f76d4347cdc86003bbea96906
+
+If we pass the salt as an argument:
+
+```bash
+aztec-cli deploy PrivateTokenContractAbi --args 1000 0x147392a39e593189902458f4303bc6e0a39128c5a1c1612f76527a162d36d529 --salt 0x123
+```
+
+the resulting address will be deterministic.
+
+> **NOTE**: You can try running the deployment with the same salt the second time in which case the transaction will fail because the address has been already deployed to.
