In the truffle project, maybe you should run the following commands:

npm install truffle-flattener -g
truffle-flattener ./contracts/myToken.sol > ./contracts/myToken_flat.sol

Hi @jing,

The issue appears to be that you are calling npm truffle-flattener when you should use npx if you don’t want to install.

You can try npx truffle-flattener ./contracts/myToken.sol > ./contracts/myToken_flat.sol which will run truffle-flattener without installing it.

Otherwise as per @Skyge (:pray: thanks as always) you can install globally and run.

Where possible I recommend doing multi-file verification using Truffle or Hardhat: Verify smart contract inheriting from OpenZeppelin Contracts

Hi @jing,

Were you able to verify your contract?
