Hi there!  
please consider filling out the checklist before sharing your issue.

However, it seems that your terminal is not located at your project’s directory. Please use `cd` to navigate into the folder where your contract is.

Hi, I don’t know if I should continue with this since there is an upgrade to beta-5. Coz I don’t want to deploy a wrong contract. More like waiting on the announcement of beta-5 before I deploy the contract, so which one should I do, continue or wait ser?

Hi there!  
You can deploy to beta-4 since there’s a period of grace where both endpoints will work as expected.

Can you confirm that your main issue was solved?

Thanks a lot 🌴

You should navigate to the project directory， For example your project directory: /root/fuel-project/contract , you should navigate to this directory, then use: forc deploy --testnet. That say if you use ‘ls’ you can see Forc.toml file
