Truffle

The Truffle development framework helps with smart contract creation, compiling, deployment and testing.

Truffle will create all the files for an example project, including contracts for MetaCoin, a sample token contract. You should be able to compile the example contracts by running truffle compile. Then, to deploy the contracts to the simulated network using the testrpc node we have running, you need to run truffle migrate.¹
