There are several command-line tools available for interacting with Nostr. Here are a few popular ones:
### 1. `nostcli`
`nostcli` is a command-line interface for Nostr that allows you to perform various actions like sending messages, subscribing to events, and interacting with relays. You can find it on GitHub and install it using common package managers.
**Installation:**
```sh
npm install -g nostcli
```
**Usage:**
```sh
nostcli send --message "Hello, Nostr!" --relay wss://relay.example.com
```
### 2. `nostr-tools`
`nostr-tools` is a JavaScript library that can be used in Node.js environments to interact with the Nostr protocol. While it's not a CLI tool per se, you can write scripts to perform various actions.
**Installation:**
```sh
npm install nostr-tools
```
**Example Script:**
```js
const { relayInit, getEventHash, signEvent } = require('nostr-tools');
const relay = relayInit('wss://relay.example.com');
relay.on('connect', () => {
console.log('Connected to relay');
});
relay.on('error', () => {
console.error('Failed to connect to relay');
});
relay.connect();
const event = {
kind: 1,
pubkey: 'your-public-key',
created_at: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000),
tags: [],
content: 'Hello, Nostr!',
};
event.id = getEventHash(event);
event.sig = signEvent(event, 'your-secret-key');
relay.publish(event);
```
### 3. `go-nostr`
`go-nostr` is a Go library and CLI tool for interacting with Nostr. It provides a robust set of features for developers who prefer Go.
**Installation:**
```sh
go get github.com/fiatjaf/go-nostr
```
**Usage:**
```sh
go-nostr publish --message "Hello, Nostr!" --relay wss://relay.example.com
```
### 4. `nostr-rs-relay`
`nostr-rs-relay` is a Rust implementation of a Nostr relay. While it primarily serves as a relay, you can also use it to understand how relays work and interact with them programmatically.
**Installation:**
```sh
cargo install nostr-rs-relay
```
**Usage:**
```sh
nostr-rs-relay --config config.toml
```
These tools should help you get started with interacting with the Nostr network from the command line. If you have any specific needs or run into issues, feel free to ask!
