[AsfndAmin]

Yes found the solution, just clone the aptos repo cd in to core_aptos and then call

[calebhughes16]

you are in the wrong directory trying to use the command. you need to be in the directory with the .toml file describing the move module you are trying to publish.

This is an error driven if it's the wrong directory. You'll need to ensure --package-dir points to the directory with the Move.toml file

i have same issue Unable to find package manifest. Make sure that the source files are located in a sub-directory of a package containing a Move.toml file. and i m in the right directory . but still my .move file extension is not working .

[gregnazario]

To not have unable to find package manifest. Your structure must be as follows:

top_folder/
top_folder/Move.toml
top_folder/sources
top_folder/sources/Module1.move
top_folder/sources/Module2.move

Then you can run

--package-dir /path-to-top-folder/top_folder

I was getting this error when I did not enclose address in quotes in Move.toml file:

This will not compile

[addresses]
basic_address = 0x635bc91e8f3cd9759b5d90f80e94bb34fae17f9fa48345970667955d63084e3e

This will compile

[addresses]
basic_address = "0x635bc91e8f3cd9759b5d90f80e94bb34fae17f9fa48345970667955d63084e3e"
