Cartesi Developer's Guide: Build dApps from scratch with ease

Introduction

Welcome to the Cartesi dApp Developer Guide! This comprehensive guide will assist you building and deploying dApps on Cartesi.

Currently, two(2) methods exist for creating dApps on Cartesi:

• The first is a simplified approach that uses Sunodo, an easy-to-use CLI tool that allows for rapid bootstrapping and building.

• The second method is the primitive approach, which is a more verbose dApp creation process.

This guide provides a detailed yet accessible explanation of how to use these two(2) distinct methods.

Getting Started

Each approach has 3 versions that caters to macOS, Linux and Windows operating systems.

Prerequisites

• Docker with Docker Buildkit enabled is needed for building and running the environment. (Docker Desktop is recommended as it enables Buildkit by default, and also QEMU-RISC V support)

• VS Code is highly recommended as the IDE of choice
