Installing Dependencies

To get started, make sure to setup all the prerequisite tools on your local machine (an installer has not yet been developed).

Install Rust

For an introduction to Rust, see the excellent Rust book.

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
source $HOME/.cargo/env
rustup component add rustfmt

Install Solana

See the solana docs for installation instructions. On macOS and Linux,

sh -c "$(curl -sSfL https://release.solana.com/v1.8.5/install)"

Install Yarn

Yarn is recommended for JavaScript package management.

npm install -g yarn

Install Anchor

Install using pre-build binary on x86_64 Linux

Anchor binaries are available via an NPM package @project-serum/anchor-cli. Only x86_64 Linux is supported currently, you must build from source for other OS'.

npm i -g @project-serum/anchor-cli

Build from source for other operating systems

For now, we can use Cargo to install the CLI.

cargo install --git https://github.com/project-serum/anchor --tag v0.19.0 anchor-cli --locked

On Linux systems you may need to install additional dependencies if cargo install fails. On Ubuntu,

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install -y pkg-config build-essential libudev-dev

Now verify the CLI is installed properly.

anchor --version

Start a Project

To initialize a new project, simply run:

anchor init <new-project-name>
