Overview

1. Installation
2. Supported wallets
3. Commands
   • Create config transaction
   • Execute config transaction
   • Create multisig
   • Vote on proposals
   • Reclaim Vault Transaction rent
   • Create new Vault Transaction
   • Execute Vault Transaction

1. Installation

You can install the CLI with Cargo. For this an installation of Rust will be needed. You can find installation steps here.

Now, install the Squads CLI.

cargo install squads-multisig-cli

2. Supported wallets

The Squads CLI has exactly the same wallet support as the Solana CLI, meaning it supports file system wallets as well as Ledger hardware wallets.

File system wallets

You can easily use your local filesystem wallet by using it as the "keypair" argument in commands.

squads-multisig-cli example-command --keypair /path/to/keypair.json

This specifies the path of the Keypair that you want to use to sign a CLI transaction.

Ledger support

To use a Ledger with the Squads CLI, just specify the Ledger device URL in the "keypair" argument.

squads-multisig-cli example-command --keypair usb://ledger

This will use the default derivation path of your Ledger.

squads-multisig-cli example-command --keypair usb://ledger/BsNsvfXqQTtJnagwFWdBS7FBXgnsK8VZ5CmuznN85swK?key=0/0

This specifies a custom derivation path. You can read more about it here.
