How to use openzeppelin in truffle project

• open your truffle project folder, and then run:

npm init -y

it will generate a file package.json in the root folder

• install openzeppelin contracts:

npm install @openzeppelin/contracts

• add a test solidity file called MyToken.sol to folder contracts/, and then put these test code:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.4;
import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/ERC20.sol";
import "@openzeppelin/contracts/access/Ownable.sol";
contract MyToken is ERC20, Ownable {
    constructor() ERC20("MyToken", "MTK") {}
    function mint(address to, uint256 amount) public onlyOwner {
        _mint(to, amount);
    }
}

more usage, see node_modules/@openzeppelin/contracts/README.md

note: pragma solidity in the MyToken.sol above is ^0.8.4, and it is 0.8.0 in "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/ERC20.sol", but it also compile successful
