1. If you are in Ubuntu, use ppa to install the compiler by running the following command:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install solc

2. If you are using macOS, install the compiler using brew:

brew update
brew tap ethereum/ethereum
brew install solidity

3. Verify the installation with the following command:

solc --version

4. Use this command to compile a contract and print the binary:

solc --bin SampleContract.sol

5. You want to get some of the more advanced output from solc:

solc -o outDirectory --bin --ast --asm --abi --opcodes SampleContract.sol

We can configure it using these provided flags:

• --ast: Abstracts the syntax trees of source files
• --asm: EVM assembly of the contracts
• --abi: ABI specification of the contracts
• --opcodes: Opcodes of the contracts

You can get the complete list of operations supported by the solc compiler by running solc --help.
