Installation Notes

If you are a first-time user of Rust, the notes below may help you to install some of the dependencies on a Mac or Linux workstation.

Rust

Install Rust using rustup. Rustup will install the latest version of Rust, Cargo, and other binaries used in Solana.

Note: If this is the first time installing Rust on Linux, you may need to install build-essential:
sudo apt install build-essential -y

Follow the instructions at Installing Rust.

For Mac users, Homebrew is also an option:

brew install rustup
rustup-init

See Mac Setup for more details.

After installation, you should have rustc, cargo, and rustup. Ensure ~/.cargo/bin is in your PATH.

git clone https://github.com/ratulb/solana_program_and_rust_client.git
cd solana_program_and_rust_client

(If you plan to submit pull requests, fork the repository first and then clone your fork.)
