🛠️ Tech Stack

Solana CLI: Command-line interface for interacting with the Solana network. Anchor: A framework for Solana’s Sealevel runtime, providing tools for developing and deploying smart contracts. Rust: The programming language used for writing smart contracts. Vite: Frontend tooling for modern web projects, ensuring fast and responsive UI.

🚀 Getting Started

Follow these steps to set up and run the Solana Lottery Project on your local machine.

Prerequisites Make sure you have the following installed:

Rust
Solana CLI
Anchor
Node.js and
Yarn

Installation Guide

1. Install Rust

Rust is essential for building the smart contracts.

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
source $HOME/.cargo/env
rustup update
rustup component add rustfmt

2. Install Solana CLI

The Solana CLI is necessary for interacting with the Solana blockchain.

Go to https://github.com/anza-xyz/agave/releases , then e.g. for mac intel and version v.1.18.22 download

wget https://github.com/anza-xyz/agave/releases/download/v1.18.22/solana-release-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.bz2
tar jxf solana-release-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.bz2
cd solana-release
export PATH=$PWD/bin:$PATH >.bashrc or .zshrc

source .bashrc or .zshrc
solana --version

#solana-cli 1.18.22 (src:9efdd74b; feat:4215500110, client:Agave)

3. Install Anchor

Anchor is a crucial framework for developing Solana programs.

cargo install --git https://github.com/coral-xyz/anchor --tag v0.30.1 anchor-cli
avm --version
anchor --version

4. Install Node.js and Yarn

For the frontend, ensure you have Node.js and Yarn installed.

Install Node.js

# installs nvm (Node Version Manager)
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.0/install.sh | bash

# download and install Node.js (you may need to restart the terminal)
nvm install 20

# verifies the right Node.js version is in the environment
node -v # should print `v20.16.0`

# verifies the right npm version is in the environment
npm -v # should print `10.8.1`

Install Yarn

sudo npm install --global yarn

5. Clone the Repository

https://github.com/TheDataDudeDE/lottery.git
cd lottery

Finally check versions

solana --version; node -v; yarn --version; anchor --version
solana-cli 1.18.22 (src:9efdd74b; feat:4215500110, client:Agave)
v20.16.0
1.22.22
anchor-cli 0.30.1

6. Build and Deploy

Compile and deploy the Solana smart contract using Anchor.

anchor build
anchor test --skip-local-validator

7. Run the Frontend

Navigate to the frontend directory and start the Vite development server.

cd frontend
yarn install
yarn dev
