System information

Geth version: geth the newest (updated today) version OS & Version: Ubuntu Commit hash : (if develop)

Expected behaviour

I expect, that machine connect Solidity with GETH, and i will deploy new Smart Token.

Actual behaviour

I was using 3 instructions from Internet, but still cant connect Solidity with ETH. Maybe there is another method to deploy smart contract without use admin.setSolc("path/to/solc")? When i type this command in geth console i have response that "setSolc is not a command".

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Just try use admin.setSolc("path/to/your/solc") in geth console.

Despite quite some discussion, admin.setSolc has been removed from latest versions of geth. Hence you could install solc separately and run as a separate executable. Alternatively you can go via the very handy remix platform at remix.ethereum.org where you can compile using any version of Solidity (useful to check if old contract code still works) and you even find deploy code that you can copy-paste into your web3 console of geth to deploy a smart contract. Even better: you can test your code in a browser-based environment in a test environment without paying ether for it or running a heavy node for it.

  • why was the ability to install a solidity compiler removed from the geth console?

  • It was regarded a very different tool and too opinionated of geth to go that route.
