Quick Start
Get started generating and tokenizing AI art in just a few commands. This guide will walk you through your first token deployment.
Generate Your First Artwork
Create a unique AI-generated image with a simple prompt:
$ turnip generate "A mystical forest with glowing mushrooms and ethereal creatures"Generating image with GPT Image 1.5... Quality: high | Size: 1024x1024 | Format: png [████████████████████] 100% ✓ Image generated successfully! ✓ Saved to: ./output/mystical-forest-1703012400.png ✓ Revised prompt saved to metadata
Deploy as Token
Once you have your artwork, deploy it as a token on Solana:
$ turnip deploy ./output/mystical-forest-1703012400.png --name "Mystical Forest" --symbol "MYST"Preparing token deployment... Step 1/4: Uploading image to IPFS... ✓ Image uploaded: ipfs://Qm... Step 2/4: Creating token metadata... ✓ Metadata uploaded: ipfs://Qm... Step 3/4: Deploying via pump.fun... ✓ Token mint: 6C9WBaavzUSt7WYYjG...pump Step 4/4: Executing dev buy (0.1 SOL)... ✓ Transaction confirmed! Token deployed successfully!

One-Command Mode
Generate and deploy in a single command with the launch command:
$ turnip launch "Cyberpunk cat with neon glasses" --name "Cyber Cat" --symbol "CCAT"Starting full pipeline... [1/5] Generating artwork... [2/5] Uploading to IPFS... [3/5] Creating metadata... [4/5] Deploying token... [5/5] Executing dev buy... ✓ Launch complete! Token: Cyber Cat ($CCAT) Mint: 7D8XBaavzUSt7WYYjG...pump View: https://pump.fun/7D8XBaavz...
