In order to install and use cairo, install the following:
scarb is the Cairo package manager. It can manage your dependencies, compiles your projects and works as an extensible platform assisting in development.
For now, scarb only supports specific cairo1 version. If you upgrade cairo, you should upgrade scarb as well.
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://docs.swmansion.com/scarb/install.sh | sh -s -- -v 2.3.1If you need upgrade, just run the installation scripts with new version again, and checkout to the newest tag, and rebuild the project.
After that, open a new shell and check that the following command returns a version number:
scarb --version
starkli is a CLI for Starknet wriiten in Rust. You can install it using below scripts:
curl https://get.starkli.sh | sh
Once starkliup is installed, you can then install or update starkli simply by running the starkliup command without arguments:
starkliup
Behind the scene, starkliup downloads prebuilt binaries (built from GitHub Actions) so you don't need a Rust installation to use it.
Check out the Starkli book for more installation options.
Now, cairo just support VSCode as an Editor.
First, you should install Node.js 18 LTS:
sudo apt remove nodejs
sudo apt update
sudo apt install curl dirmngr apt-transport-https lsb-release ca-certificates vim
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_18.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt install nodejs
Second, remember to rebuild the language server:
cargo build --bin cairo-language-server --release
Third, installing vscode-cairo support:
cd ~/.cairo/vscode-cairo
npm install --global @vscode/vsce
npm install
vsce package
code --install-extension cairo1*.vsixLast, open VSCode after installation，and set Language Server Path, which should be~/.cairo/target/release/cairo-language-server.
