# 🛠 Step 1: Install Foundry & Anvil
|
||
|
||
Foundry is a blazing-fast toolkit for Ethereum development written in Rust. It includes `forge` (for testing), `cast` (for scripting), and `anvil` (a local Ethereum node, like Hardhat or Ganache).
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## ✅ Prerequisites
|
||
|
||
- A Unix-based system (Linux/macOS/WSL)
|
||
- `curl` installed
|
||
- `zsh` or `bash` shell
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 🔽 Install Foundry
|
||
|
||
Open your terminal and run:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
curl -L https://foundry.paradigm.xyz | bash
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Then activate Foundry by either:
|
||
```
|
||
# If using zsh
|
||
source ~/.zshrc
|
||
|
||
# If using bash
|
||
source ~/.bashrc
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Now install the Foundry toolchain:
|
||
```
|
||
foundryup
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Verify Installation
|
||
```
|
||
forge --version
|
||
anvil --version
|
||
cast --version
|
||
```
|
||
If all return versions, you’re good to go!
|
||
|
||
## Run Anvil Locally
|
||
Start a local Ethereum testnet node:
|
||
```
|
||
anvil
|
||
```
|
||
Or to fork Ethereum mainnet (for testing with real contract data):
|
||
```
|
||
anvil --fork-url https://eth.merkle.io
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
## Completed:)
