Setup

Developer Setup

The stack is a simple one:

• Solidity

• JavaScript

• Node/NPM

• HardHat

• Waffle

• Ethers

Install Node (also installs NPM)

• Use the latest LTS (long term support) version.

Install required Node modules

All NPM resources are project local. No global installs required.

cd path/to/boson-protocol-contracts 
npm install

Configure Environment

• Copy .env.example to .env and edit to suit.

• API keys are only needed for deploying to public networks.

• .env is included in .gitignore and will not be committed to the repo.

Local Development

If you are only perusing the repo, generating documentation, or running tests, the above setup is fine.

However if you are building a dapp or scripting against the protocol, you'll want to get set up for local development, running a node process, etc.
