How to interact with ledger on mainnet

Developers

Hi, I have been able to interact with icp ledger locally by deploying the ledger instance.

 "icp_ledger_canister": {
      "type": "custom",
      "candid": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dfinity/ic/d73659a2baf78302b88e29e5c2bc891cde1e3e0b/rs/rosetta-api/icp_ledger/ledger.did",
      "wasm": "https://download.dfinity.systems/ic/d73659a2baf78302b88e29e5c2bc891cde1e3e0b/canisters/ledger-canister.wasm.gz",
      "remote": {
        "id": {
          "ic": "ryjl3-tyaaa-aaaaa-aaaba-cai"
        }
      },
      "declarations": {
        "output": "src/dfx/declarations/temp/icp_ledger_canister"
      }
    }

and then interacting with it by creating an actor using the index.js file and .did.js file created by
dfx generate icp_ledger_canister

but i don’t understand how i do it on the mainnet ?. am i supposed to deploy this on mainnet or is there an instance of icp ledger on mainnet if so how do i interact with it ?.

This will make sure that when you deploy to mainnet you automatically hit the ‘real’ ICP ledger

So, what you are saying is that when i deploy this canister on mainnet i will automatically be hitting the real ledger.
Thanks!
