Setup environment

Install required tools

We're going to develop DApp using truffle and react. So you need to have at least the following tools installed.

🍊 Nodejs

Nodejs is the essential tool to develop both smart contract and create the front end app. Install the recent version of node would be enough, by writing this document, we're using v15.4.0.

🛠️ Truffle

Truffle is a world class development environment, testing framework and asset pipeline for blockchains using the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), aiming to make life as a developer easier.

Clover provides fully compatible with Ethereum tools and we can use existing power tools like truffle, remix to develop smart contracts on Clover.

npm install truffle -g

🍋 Create-React-App

Create React App is an officially supported way to create single-page React applications. It offers a modern build setup with no configuration.
