This project demonstrates a basic smart contract written in Rust with Anchor. It comes with a smart contract and a test for the contract.

Before you can run the project test cases you will need to install dependencies and setup your keypair.

First make sure you have the Rust programming language installed, you can follow the installation guide here:

Verify that Rust and Cargo were installed correctly by running the following commands.

rustup --version
rustc --version
cargo --version

Follow the installation steps here to install the Solana CLI. This is a necessary step to test contracts locally.

Verify that solana was installed correctly:

solana --version

Run some config commands:

solana config set --url localhost
solana config get

Install Anchor, a popular development framework for Solana. To learn more about Anchor, check out The Anchor Book.

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

Verify the installation

anchor --version

Install the remaining npm dependencies

npm install

Generate a new keypair

solana-keygen new -o target/deploy/hello-world-solana-keypair.json

Verify that the wallet property in Anchor.toml is pointing to the keypair we just created

wallet = "target/deploy/hello-world-solana-keypair.json"

anchor

anchor build

anchor test

anchor deploy <project_path>/target/deploy/hello_world_solana.so

When deploying, you can override the project address by passing --program-id
