# Create a Move Package

Create and deploy your first move module.

## Initialize your move package

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Create a new Move package

{% code title="execute me!" %}

```
supra move tool init --package-dir /supra/move_workspace/exampleContract --name exampleContract
```

{% endcode %}

This will create your project directory automatically, including a `Move.toml` file. This is a manifest file that contains important metadata about your package. This includes the package name, version, dependencies, named addresses, and more. 

The `SupraFramework` dependency is automatically populated. This framework includes core components that you will interact with during your time on Supra. The framework package includes clearly defined documentation within the `/doc` directory for you to review alongside the Move code within the `/sources` directory. You can view [this package here](https://github.com/Entropy-Foundation/aptos-core/tree/dev/aptos-move/framework/supra-framework).

{% code title="Move.toml" %}

```toml
[package]
name = "exampleContract"
version = "1.0.0"
authors = []

[addresses]

[dev-addresses]

[dependencies.SupraFramework]
git = "https://github.com/Entropy-Foundation/aptos-core.git"
rev = "dev"
subdir = "aptos-move/framework/supra-framework"

[dev-dependencies]

```

{% endcode %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Update the named addresses

Open the `move.toml` file with your code editor. You can find these files on your host machine in the `/Documents/supra/move_workspace/exampleContract` directory if you followed this setup guide.

For now, add the below named address to your `Move.toml` file and set the value to your address. 

{% hint style="info" %}
You can view the address of your profiles by executing: `supra profile -l`
{% endhint %}

```toml
[addresses]
hello_blockchain ="YOUR-ADDRESS-HERE"
```

Named addresses allow identifiers such as `@hello_blockchain` to be used throughout your package, rather than hard coding an address value. When compiled into bytecode, any occurrence of the identifier such as `@hello_blockchain` will be replaced with the value set within the `move.toml` file.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://supraoracles.gitbook.io/supra/network/move/getting-started/create-a-move-package.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
