Are we able to deploy applications to the mainnet yet? If so how are cycles added to the canister?

Hi
Youâll need to upgrade dfx to 0.7.0 to see the ledger sub command.
Add DFX\_VERSION=0.7.0 before the installation command.
DFX\_VERSION=0.7.0 sh -ci â$(curl -fsSL [https://sdk.dfinity.org/install.sh](https://sdk.dfinity.org/install.sh))â

**Impossible to deploy on the mainnet !!**
The commands took me some ICP, not a big amount fortunately, but guys, is it nice to give the information in the bottom of a page that is not the getting started tutorial ?

```
Because application subnets are not yet widely available to the general public, you should not convert ICP tokens to cycles on the Internet Computer.
For an introduction to developing applications locally, see the Local development quick start and Tutorials.

See below my journey results:

The team is still adding subnets, until this process hasnât finished you cannot deploy to mainnet just yet. If you want to deploy a frontend you can try [fleek.co](http://fleek.co) to bypass this restriction đ

I am getting that same error when deploying on fleek. Super-simple static site, tried different docker images with no luck.

You might ask them for support, they have a slack channel and are super helpful!
