Setup

1. Rust related packages:

   • Install toolchain providing cargo using rustup.
   • Install mdBook

2. Host machine packages:

   • Install gettext for translations, usually available with regular package manager: sudo apt install gettext.

3. Clone this repository.

Work locally

All the Markdown files MUST be edited in english. To work locally in english:

• Start a local server with mdbook serve and visit localhost:3000 to view the book. You can use the --open flag to open the browser automatically: mdbook serve --open.

• Make changes to the book and refresh the browser to see the changes.

• Open a PR with your changes.

Work locally (Cairo programs verification)

The current book has script that verifies the compilation of all Cairo programs in the book. Instead of directly writing Cairo programs in the markdown files, we use code blocks that import the Cairo programs from the listing directory. These programs are bundled into scarb packages, which makes it easier to test and build entier packages.

To run the script locally, ensure that you are at the root of the repository (same directoy of this README.md file), and run:

bash scripts/cairo_programs_verifier.sh
