Setup Your Environment

clone repository

git clone https://github.com/ArrakisFinance/v2-tutorials.git

enter repository

cd v2-tutorials
if you had previously cloned repository, sync with latest:
git pull origin main

download dependencies

yarn

compile contracts

yarn compile

create .env file

touch .env

fill in .env file variables

Open a text editor or console to edit .env file adding an ALCHEMY_ID and PK
  1. 1.
    Fill in ALCHEMY_ID:
    ALCHEMY_ID=YOUR-API-KEY-GOES-HERE
    With an Alchemy API Key for access to RPC endpoints. Don't have an Alchemy API key? see here
  2. 2.
    Fill in PK:
    PK=0xYourHexidecimalPrivateKeyString
    With the 0x prefixed hexidecimal private key of an ethereum address of your choice. Using a fresh address/key is recommended since we are playing with the plaintext private key, which is always a security risk for that account. Need a wallet? get metamask here How to export metamask private key? see here
  3. 3.
    Optionally, fill in MAX_FEE_OVERRIDE and MAX_PRIORITY_FEE_OVERRIDE
    MAX_FEE_OVERRIDE=1000000000
    MAX_PRIORITY_FEE_OVERRIDE=1000000000
    If you face issues with gas pricing in subsequent steps, you can manually override gas prices by optionally adding MAX_FEE_OVERRIDE and MAX_PRIORITY_FEE_OVERRIDE to the environment. These are expressed in wei units (in this example case, forcing a 1 gwei gas price).
Your .env file may now look something like this:
ALCHEMY_ID=aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
PK=0xffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
MAX_FEE_OVERRIDE=1000000000
MAX_PRIORITY_FEE_OVERRIDE=1000000000
Congrats! Your environment is now set up, and you are ready to move on.
