Deploying the Auction Smart Contract

We’ve covered the theory of deploying smart contracts with the Truffle Framework. Now, we'll deploy the Auction smart contract. While we could deploy it directly to the Mainnet or Goerli, it would be a good idea to first see how it works in a testing environment. For this, we can use one of the local Ethereum implementations, such as Ganache, which we'll cover in this lesson.

Deploy the Auction smart contract

To deploy the Auction smart contract, we first need to have an Ownable instance that'll be sold at the auction. Therefore, we'll write a migration script that deploys the Ownable instance and then passes its address to the constructor of the Auction.
