[Ethereum] Solc –version: command not found

nodejssolcsolidity

I'm trying to use solc with no success.

I download solc with npm install solc but when I run solc --version the console output is:

command not found.

If I list packages npm list I'm able to see solc@0.3.5.

What's wrong?

You should add solc to PATH. Type which solc to get the location where the solidity compiler is installed and add this to PATH. If you just want to check the version, navigate to the location where solidity is installed and then type in the command solc --version.

Seems like you're being bitten by #948. Also see this other question. Should be resolved in -beta.12, apparently

const pathA = path.resolve(__dirname, 'contracts', 'A.sol');
//to find the path of A.sol inside the folder 'contract' in your project
const pathB = path.resolve(__dirname, 'contracts', 'B.sol');
const solA = fs.readFileSync(pathA, 'utf8');
const solB = fs.readFileSync(pathB, 'utf8');

const input = {
  sources: {
    'A.sol': solA,
    'B.sol': solB
  }
};
console.log(solc.compile(input, 1));
