# Truffle Project Setup

If you've already installed the CLI, then you are already good to go, as the synchronization is done by it as well!

You just need to make sure that you are either calling the `listen` command from your Truffle project directory. Or that you pass the -d parameter.

When starting the CLI, contracts will be synchronized, so the output should look like the following:

![Artifact synchronization](/files/-MU5Y-UBUGJC0H1vawdA)

{% hint style="warning" %}
The CLI watches *any* changes in the artifacts. So if you manually edit a field that is synchronized, it might make the decoding impossible!
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://doc.tryethernal.com/getting-started/truffle-project-setup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
