Minting Tool

What this is

This is an (experimental) minting tool for simple NFTs for DIP721 NFT canisters on the Internet Computer that support the minting operation.

What this is not

The minting tool only knows how to mint to existing NFT canisters; it does not provide one itself. An example NFT canister can be found in the examples repository.

Installation

To install the minting tool you will need an installation of Rust, updated at least to 1.65.0. Rust is usually installed via Rustup, and there may be extra steps depending on your operating system.

With Rust installed, run the following command:

cargo install --git https://github.com/dfinity/experimental-minting-tool --locked

This will install the minting tool into your PATH, accessible via the minting-tool command.

See minting-tool --help for usage details.
