Are you ready to dive into the world of Solana dApps? With the help of the create-solana-dapp tool, you can get started with just one command! In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the process of setting up your Solana dApp, supported frameworks, and some troubleshooting tips along the way.

Getting Started: The Simple Command

The magic begins with a single command. Open your terminal and run:

npx create-solana-dapp@latest

This command initializes your Solana dApp project, laying down the foundation for your development environment!

UI Framework Support

When creating your Solana dApp, you’ll have support for several UI frameworks:

• ReactJS
• NextJS

These frameworks provide you with the tools necessary to build a robust and user-friendly interface. Additionally, there are plans to support other frameworks in the future:

• VueJS
• Svelte
• React Native

OnChain Program Frameworks

Your Solana dApp will also utilize onchain program frameworks, particularly:

• Anchor

Anchor is pivotal in building secure and efficient smart contracts, enhancing the functionality of your dApp.

Understanding the Project Structure

The create-solana-dapp project operates as an NX monorepo. Here’s a quick analogy: think of it like a neighborhood with multiple houses (packages), each serving a unique purpose but all part of one big community. Below are the child packages you’ll work with:

• create-solana-dapp: The command line tool for generating a new project.
• preset-anchor: A preset that incorporates Anchor support.
• preset-common: Shared utilities for the various presets.
• preset-next: This adds support for Next.js.
• preset-react: This adds React support.
• solana-dev: A CLI tool with utilities for developing Solana dApps.

Local Development Setup

This project utilizes pnpm as its package manager. If you don’t have it installed, you can use the following commands:

sh corepack enable
corepack prepare pnpm@9 --activate

After installing pnpm, run the following commands to get everything up and running:

git clone https://github.com/solana-developers/create-solana-dapp.git
cd create-solana-dapp
npm install
pnpm run build

Troubleshooting Tips

If you come across any issues during your development journey, here are some troubleshooting ideas:

• Ensure that you have a compatible version of Node.js installed.
• Check your internet connection if you experience installation errors.
• If any commands fail, running them with elevated privileges may help.
