Step 1, in Administrator PowerShell. Installs WSL2 + Ubuntu, then prompts to reboot.

bash

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/portdeveloper/se2-workshop-windows-setup/main/wsl-bootstrap.sh | bash

Step 2, inside Ubuntu after reboot. Installs the toolchain, asks for your git identity, and scaffolds the dapp.

Prefer step-by-step

See the manual install for Windows.

After the install finishes

Run these to start developing.

Open three terminals from inside your project directory. The first spins up a local Anvil node, the second deploys your contracts to it, the third serves the dapp.

bash

cd ~/my-monad-dapp
yarn chain      # terminal 1 (local Anvil)
yarn deploy     # terminal 2
yarn start      # terminal 3 (http://localhost:3000)

To deploy to Monad Testnet later: gh auth login, yarn deploy --network monadTestnet.
