# Installing Dependencies
2021-01-02 16:24:35 -08:00
2021-01-02 22:40:17 -08:00
To get started, make sure to setup all the prerequisite tools on your local machine
(an installer has not yet been developed).
2021-01-02 16:24:35 -08:00
## Install Rust
2021-01-02 22:40:17 -08:00
For an introduction to Rust, see the excellent Rust [book ](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ ).
2021-01-02 16:24:35 -08:00
```bash
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
source $HOME/.cargo/env
rustup component add rustfmt
```
2021-01-02 22:40:17 -08:00
## Install Solana
2021-01-02 16:24:35 -08:00
2021-04-18 12:13:07 -07:00
See the solana [docs ](https://docs.solana.com/cli/install-solana-cli-tools ) for installation instructions. On macOS and Linux,
2021-01-02 22:40:17 -08:00
```bash
2021-12-13 08:23:36 -08:00
sh -c "$(curl -sSfL https://release.solana.com/v1.8.5/install)"
2021-01-02 22:40:17 -08:00
```
2021-01-02 16:24:35 -08:00
2021-11-11 14:38:35 -08:00
## Install Yarn
2021-01-02 22:40:17 -08:00
2021-11-11 14:38:35 -08:00
[Yarn ](https://yarnpkg.com/ ) is recommended for JavaScript package management.
2021-01-02 16:24:35 -08:00
```bash
2021-11-11 14:38:35 -08:00
npm install -g yarn
2021-01-02 16:24:35 -08:00
```
2021-01-02 22:40:17 -08:00
## Install Anchor
2021-09-13 11:39:28 -07:00
### Install using pre-build binary on x86_64 Linux
2021-10-13 22:20:12 -07:00
Anchor binaries are available via an NPM package [`@project-serum/anchor-cli` ](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@project-serum/anchor-cli ). Only x86_64 Linux is supported currently, you must build from source for other OS'.
2021-09-13 11:39:28 -07:00
```bash
npm i -g @project -serum/anchor-cli
```
### Build from source for other operating systems
2021-01-02 22:40:17 -08:00
For now, we can use Cargo to install the CLI.
2021-01-02 16:24:35 -08:00
```bash
2021-12-08 14:33:36 -08:00
cargo install --git https://github.com/project-serum/anchor --tag v0.19.0 anchor-cli --locked
2021-01-02 16:24:35 -08:00
```
2021-04-06 11:49:24 -07:00
On Linux systems you may need to install additional dependencies if `cargo install` fails. On Ubuntu,
2021-01-06 12:04:44 -08:00
```bash
2021-05-07 22:56:36 -07:00
sudo apt-get update & & sudo apt-get upgrade & & sudo apt-get install -y pkg-config build-essential libudev-dev
2021-01-06 12:04:44 -08:00
```
2021-08-22 18:22:28 -07:00
Now verify the CLI is installed properly.
```bash
anchor --version
```
## Start a Project
To initialize a new project, simply run:
```bash
anchor init < new-project-name >
```
