​
1. Get started by installing The Graph CLI

Download The Graph CLI via npm 
npm i @graphprotocol/graph-cli

NPM CLI Package

Install The Graph npm package

​
2. Generate API key

Create an API key: Visit 0xgraph Dashboard to generate your API key
You need to specify the 0xgraph deployment endpoint. Your API key should only be used for the 0xgraph deployment endpoint.

​
3. Generate types and mappings for your Subgraph

Go to your Subgraph root directory where subgraph.yaml file is located 
cd <your_subgraph_project>
Run the following command to generate AssemblyScript types for smart contract ABIs and the subgraph schema 
graph codegen

​
4. Compile your Subgraph

Run the following command to compile your Subgraph into WASM (WebAssembly) 
graph build

​
5. Deploy your Subgraph to 0xgraph

Paste the API key generated in step 2 and run the following command to deploy your Subgraph to 0xgraph 
graph deploy <your_subgraph> --node
https://multiversxapi.0xgraph.xyz/deploy
--ipfs https://multiversxapi.0xgraph.xyz/ipfs
--deploy-key <api_key>
If prompted to enter the version, use the version of The Graph CLI that you downloaded.
You can now monitor your Subgraph deployment in the 0xgraph app
