Dear Motoko Bootcamp campers ๐๏ธ
Welcome to the fast-track guide from zero to enrollment. To achieve this goal efficiently, ensure all prerequisites are in place and you follow the steps closely.
We will move through the following chapters
Open your terminal, and let's determine whether the minimal dev requirements are in place. Enter the commands and compare the results (what after โ)
node --version
โ v18.*.*
npm --version
โ 9.5.*
dfx --version
โ dfx 0.14.0
Got some unusual result? Please stop here and fix it. Execute the following resource:
Set up your environment for building on the Internet Computer (ICP) - YouTube
Create identity (enter a passphrase, only use numbers and letters)
dfx identity new motoko_bootcamp_2023
append --storage-mode=plaintext
to disable identity encryption โ๏ธinsecure but convenient
Activate newly created identity (motoko_bootcamp_2023
)
dfx identity use motoko_bootcamp_2023
Check, that its activated (the *
markes the active identity)
dfx identity list
Decide whether you have the time to go the Cycles Faucet route (ca. 24h) or better bring your own ICP (min 1.0 ICP) from an exchange or wallet.
