Setup Commands Using pnpm

Once the repository has been cloned, you can use pnpm commands to streamline development and build tasks. pnpm is a fast and efficient package manager, ideal for managing dependencies in a complex project.

Here is the list of key commands:

---

Global Commands

pnpm install

• Installs all the dependencies required for the project.
• This includes both frontend (web) and backend (anchor) dependencies, preparing the entire project in one step.
• Note: This process may take some time as it installs all dependencies for the fullstack project. You can monitor the progress in your terminal.

pnpm dev

• Starts the development server for the frontend React application with live reload enabled.
• Ideal for fast-paced development and real-time previews.

pnpm build

• Compiles and builds the frontend application for production. The final files are placed in the out directory.

pnpm start

• Runs the production version of the frontend application, perfect for local verification before deployment.

---

Anchor-Related Commands

pnpm anchor

• Allows you to run any Anchor CLI command directly from the root directory. Equivalent to navigating to the anchor directory and running the Anchor command.

Example:

pnpm anchor build

pnpm anchor:build

• Compiles the Solana program in the anchor directory using anchor build.
• Useful if you want to build your smart contract manually without running the entire dev flow.

pnpm anchor-localnet

• Starts a local Solana validator and deploys the Anchor program to it.
• This is crucial for testing programs locally without relying on external networks.

pnpm anchor-test

• Runs tests for the Solana program using Anchor's built-in test framework.

pnpm anchor-deploy

• Deploys the current program onto the specified Solana blockchain configured in the Anchor.toml file.

---

Miscellaneous Commands

pnpm lint-init

• Initializes ESLint for the project setup.

pnpm lint

• Runs ESLint and fixes style issues in .js, .ts, and .tsx files.

---

Project-Specific Dependency Installation

Frontend (governance-ui)

To install dependencies specific to the frontend located in the governance-ui folder, use the following command:

pnpm gov-ui-install

This command navigates into the governance-ui directory and installs all its necessary dependencies using pnpm install.

---

Quick Instructions

Install dependencies:

pnpm install

Start the project in development mode:

pnpm dev

Compile the Anchor program:

pnpm anchor:build

Start a local Solana network:

pnpm anchor-localnet

Available Applications

Anchor

• This is a Solana program written in Rust using the Anchor framework.
• You can run all standard Anchor commands by either navigating to the anchor directory or prefixing your Anchor commands with pnpm.

Example:

pnpm anchor build
