Setting up an Ethereum development environment

To start with smart contract development, you will need to install development tools. Let me introduce you to a popular DApp development tool—Truffle. Refer to the upcoming section for guidance on acquiring the necessary Ethereum development tools and launching a local private blockchain environment, which is typically utilized to execute and deploy your smart contract on a local blockchain.

Working with Truffle

Truffle is a comprehensive Ethereum DApp development tool that facilitates the creation, compilation, testing, and deployment of smart contracts and DApps within a development environment.

When utilizing Truffle, frontend development can be executed through HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, while smart contracts are written in Solidity. The web3.js API is used for interaction between the UI and smart contract. Truffle Boxes are pre-defined code templates that offer beneficial modules, Solidity contracts and libraries,...
