starkup: the Cairo toolchain installer

Starkup helps you install all the tools you will use to develop packages in Cairo and write contracts for Starknet.

Getting started

Run the following in your terminal, then follow the onscreen instructions.

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

Supported tools

Starkup supports the installation of the following tools:

• Scarb the Cairo package manager
• Starknet Foundry the Cairo and Starknet testing framework
• Universal Sierra Compiler compiler for any ever-existing Sierra version
• Cairo Profiler profiler for Cairo programming language & Starknet
• Cairo Coverage utility for coverage reports generation for code written in Cairo programming language
• CairoLS vscode extension

Installing specific versions

Starkup allows you to choose which versions of tools to install using the --version-set flag. The following version sets are available:

• compatible (default): Installs versions of all tools that are known to be compatible with each other
• latest: Installs latest versions of all tools, which may be incompatible with each other

To install a specific version set (e.g. latest), run the following:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.starkup.sh | sh -s -- --version-set latest

Architecture

Starkup relies on ASDF package manager to install the latest versions of Scarb and Starknet Foundry. If you don't have ASDF yet, no worries - Starkup can handle that as well!

Community

Starkup is created by the same team at Software Mansion that is behind Scarb the Cairo package manager and Starknet Foundry, the Cairo and Starknet testing framework. We partnered with [Starkware], the creators of Cairo and Starknet.
