First, let's prepare the working environment. We will use [**Gitpod**](https://www.gitpod.io/). You can read about getting started with it [here](https://mirror.xyz/vitamine777.eth/r7fF2ddlSlULpXyWJ8j_wmWSw4BrjbFagqprKcXl0WU).

Let's start setting up the server. Run each command separately

> sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
> 
> sudo apt install curl git -y
> 
> curl — proto ‘=https’ — tlsv1.2 -sSf [https://sh.rustup.rs](https://sh.rustup.rs) | sh

Type **1** and press **Enter**

> source "$HOME/.cargo/env"
> 
> curl — proto ‘=https’ — tlsv1.2 -sSf [https://fuellabs.github.io/fuelup/fuelup-init.sh](https://fuellabs.github.io/fuelup/fuelup-init.sh) | sh
> 
> export PATH="${HOME}/.fuelup/bin:${PATH}"
> 
> mkdir fuel-project
> 
> cd fuel-project
> 
> forc new counter-contract

Then go [here](https://github.com/Salvatorenodes/Hello-Fuel/blob/main/example.sw) and copy the code. Open file **main.sw** and replace code.

Continue.

> fuelup toolchain new test\_toolchain
> 
> fuelup component add [forc@0.26.0](mailto:forc@0.26.0)
> 
> fuelup component add forc-wallet
> 
> cd counter-contract
> 
> forc build
> 
> forc-wallet init

Create a password, save the seed phrase and press **Enter.**

> forc-wallet new

Enter our password and press **Enter**. We get the wallet address. Request test tokens [**here**](https://faucet-beta-1.fuel.network/) (the faucet is very laggy, try it until you can request tokens).

> forc deploy --url [https://node-beta-1.fuel.network/graphql](https://node-beta-1.fuel.network/graphql) --gas-price 1

Copy our wallet adress (ctrl+shift+c) and paste (right-click), click **Enter.**

Now is a very important step. Click on the button indicated in the picture

A new terminal has been opened, we continue our work there

> cd fuel-project
> 
> cd counter-contract
> 
> export PATH="${HOME}/.fuelup/bin:${PATH}"
> 
> forc wallet sign "**Tx id to sign** from first window" 0

Ctrl+Shift+C for copy. Paste command in second window.

Copy the signature and paste it into the first window

Congratulations! You deployed the **smart contract**. Copy our Tx id, add 0x to the beginning and look at the contract [here](https://fuellabs.github.io/block-explorer-v2/).
