Welcome here everyone,today I’ll tell you how to install Fuel Toolchain in just a minutes!After this guide you can easily start building your dApp on Fuel on the current Beta-4 testnet. So before we start just one more clarification - I’ll be using a Linux and this guide is Linux-oriented. You can just install Linux as a separate OS , or rent a server, or , like in my case, run a Virtual Machine and install Linux on it! The link to download Ubuntu is here - it is absolutely free so you don’t need to worry about it! For virtual Machine I’m using a VMware workstation,you can use any VM you like! So let’s start Open your terminal in Ubuntu 1.1To begin with,we need to complete some installations&updates sudo apt update &#x26;&#x26; sudo apt upgrade -y You’ll be asked to type your password Then write sudo apt-get install git-all Press Y And finally, let’s install the curl ,with which we will install Rust sudo apt-get install curl 1.2 Installing Rust We need to install Rust as toolchain is built on top of the Rust programming language. To download Rust,just paste this command: curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh Press 1 to proceed default installation After installation of Rust - you’ll need to re-open your terminal so you already will be able to use Rust. 1.3 Installing Fuel toolchain by fuelup fuelup is the official Fuel package manager that makes it easy for you to switch to different toolchains. So just run this program in terminal: curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://install.fuel.network/fuelup-init.sh | sh You’ll be asked to modify your PATH Press Y After the installation finishes,you should receive the following output You can also see which fuelup version has been installed Now, you need to close&open your terminal again and check your fuelup version with fuelup --version As for the moment of writing this guide, the latest version is 0.19.5 For the further updates, use the command below to update fuelup fuelup self update 1.4 Installing Beta-4 toolchain If the installation is successful you’ll receive that output And all you need to do now is to set beta-4 as your default toolchain fuelup default beta-4 Beta-4 is now set as a default toolchain By running fuelup show You’ll see the toolchains version and versions of the all tools you are using Btw you can see that Beta-4 is our default toolchain So thats it! As I’ve said at the beginning toolchain installation takes just a couple of minutes and I hope that you’ve made it! But you may ask me: ‘What to do next?‘.From there you can try out deploying your first smart contract on Beta-4, luckily for you, I’ve already have a guide for that! If you encounter some problems, errors or just have some questions about Beta-4 or Fuel - feel free to ask them on Fuel Forum. See you in the next guide! <3
