Overview of building dApps
Navigate to our Quick Start tutorial if you want to build dApps now!
General requirements
To start developing applications using Cartesi Rollups, first make sure that the packages listed in this section are all installed and working in your system. The instructions listed below should be enough to turn a fresh copy of the latest Ubuntu LTS distribution into a fully fledged Cartesi development environment.
Quick Start
This article explains how to build and interact with a minimalistic Cartesi Rollups application.
Create your first dApp
Once you learned how to run a simple example, it is now time to create one of your own. In order to do this, we will make use of the dApp template available in Cartesi's rollups-examples Github repository. Once again, make sure you have installed all the necessary requirements before proceeding.
Run back-end in Host Mode
When developing an application, it is often important to easily test and debug it. For that matter, it is possible to run the Cartesi Rollups environment in host mode, so that the dApp's back-end can be executed directly on the host machine, allowing it to be debugged using regular development tools such as an IDE.
