Building the prover

1. Install Rust

DO NOT install Rust using things like apt install rust.

If rust is already installed: Make sure you have at least Rust 1.65. Check with rustc --version.

Install the latest version of Rust using rustup. Run the following line:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Accept default options by pressing Enter or customize if you need to.

Log out and log in again to finish the installation, or follow the instructions by rustup.

2. Install dependencies

Install following dependencies using the package manager of your distribution:

git
clang
libssl-dev
pkg-config

On Debian / Ubuntu, running the following command should be enough:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install git clang libssl-dev pkg-config --no-install-recommends

3. Clone and build the prover

Unless absolutely necessary, DO NOT run anything with sudo. You don't need root permission from now on.

Clone the prover repo:

git clone https://github.com/HarukaMa/aleo-prover -b testnet3-new
cd aleo-prover

Build the prover using cargo:

cargo build --release

If the build successes, Run the prover:

cargo run --release -- -a aleo1your_address_here -p pool.hamp.app:4444

or

target/release/aleo-prover -a aleo1your_address_here -p pool.hamp.app:4444
