Getting Started

Choose the deployment style, install and prepare the SDK for use.

This section guides you through selecting a deployment style, followed by SDK setup.

Note: For both Testnet and Mainnet deployments, the appchain infrastructure is deployed on AWS. Prerequisites and setup details for AWS are provided in the respective deployment sections. Support for additional cloud providers will be introduced in future releases.

Hardware requirements & Software Requirements

Please verify that your system meets these hardware requirements prior to starting the SDK setup.

	CPU	RAM	Storage
Minimum	2 vCPU	4	20
Recommended	4 vCPU	8	50

Users must have an AWS account to proceed with Testnet or Mainnet deployment.

Deployment Style

We offer three flexible deployment styles to support a range of developer environments. Choose the one that best fits your needs:

---

1. Local Machine Deployment (macOS and Linux)

In this approach, the SDK is installed and run directly on your local machine to deploy an appchain.

• Supports both Devnet and Testnet deployments. (Note : Testnet infra will be deployed in AWS)

• To use this method, follow the SDK setup instructions in your local machine.

---

2. EC2-Based Deployment (Preferred Choice)

This method allows you to deploy the appchain from an AWS EC2 instance.

• Begin by launching and configuring an EC2 instance using this step-by-step guide.
• Once your EC2 instance is ready and accessible, continue with the SDK setup and deployment process.

---

3. Docker-Based Deployment

This approach uses a Docker container to deploy the chain.

• Currently supports Testnet deployments only.

• Useful for isolated or containerized environments.

• To get started, follow this Docker setup guide.
• Once your Docker environment is ready, proceed with the SDK setup and deployment steps.

SDK Setup

Follow these step-by-step instructions to set up the SDK:

1. Download the setup.sh file

   curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tokamak-network/trh-sdk/main/setup.sh > setup.sh

2. Run the setup.sh file

   chmod +x setup.sh
   ./setup.sh

3. Source the shell config

   MacOS

   source ~/.zshrc

   Linux

   source ~/.bashrc

4. Verify the installation

   trh-sdk version
   
   ## The expected output of this command
   v0.0.0-${commit-id}

This completes the SDKv1 setup on your instance. You can now proceed to the Rollup Stack section to explore the available stacks and their respective deployment options.
