This quickstart guide will demonstrate how to quickly install and setup your local development environment, getting you ready to start developing and deploying PUT programs to the blockchain.
How to install the PUT CLI locally
How to setup a localhost PUT cluster/validator
How to create a PUT wallet for developing
How to airdrop PUT tokens for your wallet
To interact with the PUT clusters from your terminal, install the PUT CLI tool suite on your local system:
sh -c "$(curl -sSfL https://release.put.com/stable/install)"The PUT CLI comes with the test validator built in.
This command line tool will allow you to run a full blockchain cluster on your machine.
PRO TIP: Run the PUT test validator in a new/separate terminal window that will remain open. The command line program must remain running for your localhost cluster to remain online and ready for action.
Configure your PUT CLI to use your localhost validator for all your future terminal commands:
At any time, you can view your current PUT CLI configuration settings:
To deploy a program with PUT CLI, you will need a PUT wallet with PUT tokens to pay for the cost of transactions.
Let's create a simple file system wallet for testing:
By default, the put-keygen command will create a new file system wallet located at ~/.config/put/id.json. You can manually specify the output file location using the --outfile /path option.
NOTE: If you already have a file system wallet saved at the default location, this command will NOT override it (unless you explicitly force override using the --force flag).
Set your new wallet as default#
With your new file system wallet created, you must tell the PUT CLI to use this wallet to deploy and take ownership of your on chain program:
Once your new wallet is set as the default, you can request a free airdrop of PUT tokens to it:
NOTE: The put airdrop command has a limit of how many PUT tokens can be requested per airdrop for each cluster (localhost, testnet, or devent). If your airdrop transaction fails, lower your airdrop request quantity and try again.
You can check your current wallet's PUT balance any time:
