### [➡️ Read the Quickstart! ➡️](https://docs.fuel.network/docs/indexer/getting-started/quickstart/) ## What is the Fuel indexer? The Fuel indexer is a standalone service that can be used to index various components of the blockchain. These indexable components include blocks, transactions, receipts, and state within the Fuel network, allowing for high-performance read-only access to the blockchain for advanced dApp use-cases. > TLDR: It's Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) for Web3 dApp backends. ## Install Fuel's indexer supports Linux (x64 & arm64) and macOS (x64 & Apple Silicon). > If you don't want to deal with dependency issues we recommend just using Fuel's indexer with Docker, [via the included docker-compose file](https://github.com/FuelLabs/fuel-indexer/blob/develop/scripts/docker-compose.yaml). Install Fuel's toolchain manager - fuelup. ```bash curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://install.fuel.network/fuelup-init.sh | sh ``` > The `fuel-indexer` and `forc-index` binaries should now be available in your `$PATH` ## Usage For development, users will primarily use the `forc index` command line utility made available after installing fuelup. ```bash forc index --help ``` ```text forc index 0.0.0 Fuel Indexer Orchestrator USAGE: forc-index OPTIONS: -h, --help Print help information -V, --version Print version information SUBCOMMANDS: auth Authenticate against an indexer service build Build an indexer check Check for Fuel indexer components deploy Deploy an indexer to an indexer service help Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s) kill Kill the indexer process.
