In this guide, we’ll walk through the steps to get started with Squeezer, highlight some of its incredible features, and troubleshoot common issues along the way.

What is Squeezer?

Squeezer is a platform designed to simplify the journey of new-entry blockchain developers, allowing them to build serverless dApps effortlessly. Imagine Squeezer as a magical toolbox that provides all the right tools for building a house (your dApp) without needing to understand every single tool in detail (the underlying blockchain complexities).

Getting Started

Before diving in, ensure you have Node.js installed. You’ll need version 6 or higher. If you don’t have it, you can download it from nodejs.org.

Follow These Easy Steps:

  1. First, install Squeezer’s command-line tool globally on your machine using npm:
  2. npm install squeezer-cli -g
  3. Create a new project using the Squeezer 2-way payment template:
  4. sqz create --project my-first-project --template https://github.com/SqueezerIO/squeezer-2way-payment
  5. Switch to the project’s directory:
  6. cd my-first-project
  7. Initialize your local directory as a Git repository:
  8. git init
  9. Add the files in your new local repository to stage them for your first commit:
  10. git add .
  11. Go to GitHub in a browser and create a new repository with the same name.
  12. In your Terminal, add the URL for the remote repository:
  13. git remote add origin remote_repository_URL
  14. Commit the staged files in your local repository:
  15. git commit -m "First commit"
  16. Push the master branch to GitHub:
  17. git push -u origin master
  18. Now, log in to the Squeezer platform and import your project from GitHub.
  19. Follow the prompts, and once the deployment is finished, check your logs for the Swagger URL.
