Introduction
Developing Compatible Dapps
If you're a web dapp developer, we've got two types of guides for you:
New Dapp Developers
- We recommend this Learning Solidity tutorial series by Karl Floersch.
- We wrote a (slightly outdated now) gentle introduction on Developing Dapps with Truffle and MetaMask.
Current Dapp Developers
- If you have a Dapp, and you want to ensure compatibility, here is our guide on building MetaMask-compatible Dapps
Building locally
- Install Node.js version 8 and the latest available npm@6
- If you are using nvm (recommended) running
nvm use
will automatically choose the right node version for you. - If you install Node.js manually, ensure you're using npm@6
- Install npm@6 using
npm install -g npm@6
- Install npm@6 using
- If you are using nvm (recommended) running
- Install dependencies:
npm install
- Install gulp globally with
npm install -g gulp-cli
. - Build the project to the
./dist/
folder withgulp build
. - Optionally, to rebuild on file changes, run
gulp dev
. - To package .zip files for distribution, run
gulp zip
, or run the full build & zip withgulp dist
.
Uncompressed builds can be found in /dist
, compressed builds can be found in /builds
once they're built.
