Ever CLI

The Ever CLI is the command-line tool for installing, managing, and operating EDH systems.

Installation​

npm install -g @ever-healthcare/ever-cli

Or use directly from the repo:

cd edh-central
npm run edh

Commands​

ever init​

Initialize a new EDH installation. Walks you through setup interactively.

ever init              # Interactive setup
ever init --quick      # Quick setup with defaults
ever init --dir ./my-edh  # Custom directory
ever init --skip-docker   # Skip Docker setup

What it does:

  1. Checks prerequisites (Node, npm, Git, Docker)
  2. Clones or detects edh-central repo
  3. Configures .env from template
  4. Installs all dependencies
  5. Builds core crypto library
  6. Compiles smart contracts
  7. Optionally starts Docker infrastructure

ever status​

Check the health of your EDH installation.

ever status            # Quick overview
ever status --verbose  # Detailed per-component status

Shows:

  • Prerequisite versions
  • Component install/build status
  • Environment configuration
  • Deployed contract addresses
  • Docker service status

ever doctor​

Diagnose common issues.

ever doctor

Checks:

  • Node.js version
  • Dependencies installed
  • Core library built
  • Contracts compiled
  • ABIs extracted
  • Docker running
  • Contracts deployed
  • Ports available

Each failed check includes a suggested fix.

ever upgrade​

Upgrade all components to the latest version.

ever upgrade           # Full upgrade
ever upgrade --dry-run # Preview changes
ever upgrade --core-only  # Only upgrade crypto library

Steps:

  1. Git pull latest
  2. Reinstall dependencies
  3. Rebuild core library
  4. Recompile contracts
  5. Re-extract ABIs

ever deploy​

Deploy smart contracts interactively.

ever deploy                    # Interactive network selection
ever deploy --network testnet  # Direct deploy
ever deploy --verify           # Verify on block explorer

Available networks:

  • Localhost (Hardhat node)
  • Testnet (from .env)
  • Polygon Mumbai
  • Polygon Mainnet
  • Mainnet (from .env)

Mainnet deployments require typing DEPLOY to confirm.

ever wallet​

Wallet management commands.

ever wallet create     # Generate new wallet
ever wallet info       # Show wallet info
ever wallet verify     # Verify access logs on-chain
ever wallet export     # Export encrypted backup

ever wallet create​

Generates a new EDH wallet with Scrypt-derived encryption keys.

  • Prompts for password (min 8 characters)
  • Uses Scrypt (N=16384, r=8, p=1) for key derivation
  • Stores only public metadata — private key is derived from password on demand

ever wallet verify​

Verifies that access logs haven't been tampered with by:

  1. Fetching logs from the backend
  2. Rebuilding the Merkle tree locally
  3. Comparing the root with what's anchored on-chain
  4. Checking the chain integrity (previous root links)

EDH CLI (Repo-Local)​

When working inside the edh-central repo, use npm run edh:

npm run edh                    # Interactive menu
npm run edh setup              # First-time setup wizard
npm run edh status             # Monorepo status
npm run edh deploy             # Deploy contracts

npm run build:all              # Build everything
npm run test:all               # Test everything
npm run dev:services           # Start all services
npm run contract:node          # Local blockchain
npm run desktop:dev            # Desktop client
npm run chrome:build           # Chrome extension
