# Compiling a smart contract in C# (C-Sharp)

### Compiling C# smart contract to static binary with the QVM compiler

We already supply a simple compiler container which will perform the most optimized build of turning above sample contract to a static binary which can be run by QVM.

Since you saved the previous sample contract as `main.cs` in your current directory, you can run the compiler like this:

```bash
docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/ws qanplatform/qvm-compiler-csharp
```

Afterwards you will end up with a statically linked linux ELF binary called “contract” in your current directory.

```shell
# checking output size of QVM compiler
ls -alh contract
-rwxr-xr-x  1 user  group    1.0M Jul 9 23:24 contract
```
