Now that there is some ether on our private development chain, we can deploy the contract. The first step is to compile the Multiply7 contract to byte code that can be sent to the EVM. To install solc, the Solidity compiler, follow the [Solidity documentation](https://docs.soliditylang.org/en/latest/installing-solidity.html). (You might want to use an older `solc` release to match [the version of compiler used for our example](https://github.com/ethereum/solidity/releases/tag/v0.4.20).)
