# The Flip Smart Contract part 3 : Setting up the project

## Cloning the contract template

For the moment there is no CLI allowing to create new AssemblyScript smart contracts projects, so you'll need to clone the empty contract template : 

<pre class="language-bash"><code class="lang-bash">git clone https://github.com/gfusee/mx-sdk-as-empty.git flip
cd flip
<strong>rm -rf .git
</strong></code></pre>

{% hint style="info" %}
A CLI like `mxpy` is not available yet for AssemblyScript projects. This feature is planned.
{% endhint %}

## Initializing the code and dependancies

Open the folder inside your favorite code editor and replace the content of the \`assembly/index.ts\` by the following code :

```typescript
//@ts-nocheck

import {
    ContractBase
} from "@gfusee/mx-sdk-as";

@contract
abstract class FlipContract extends ContractBase {
    
}
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Use `//@ts-nocheck` to avoid false errors due to IDEs thinking the code is in TypeScript instead of AssemblyScript and annotations not processed.
{% endhint %}

Here we have the simplest contract ever : a contract that does nothing (for now!). More information about each line can be found [inside the previous tutorial](https://fusee.gitbook.io/mx-sdk-as/the-flip-smart-contract/broken-reference).

As any node project we need to install npm packages with the following command:

```bash
npm install
```

## Building the contract

Run the next command to build your contract :

```bash
npm run build
```

If everything went well you should have a new folder named `build` with two files inside : `release.wasm` and `release.wat`. The first one is the deployable code and the second one is a "human readable" version of the first one.

## Next up

At the moment the contract is empty. We will write the flip code in next parts of this tutorial, starting by the contract storage 📚
