Setting Up Development Environment

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to set up your development environment for building on the Beatoz blockchain.

Step 1: Install Node.js

First, you need to install Node.js. We recommend using version 18 or higher.

# Using Homebrew
brew install node@18

Verify installation:

node --version  # v18.x.x
npm --version   # 9.x.x

Step 2: Create a New Project

Create a new directory for your project and initialize it:

mkdir my-beatoz-app
cd my-beatoz-app
npm init -y

Step 3: Install Beatoz SDK

Install the @beatoz/web3 package:

npm install @beatoz/web3

Step 4: Create Your First Script

Create a file called index.js:

const { Web3 } = require('@beatoz/web3');

// Connect to Beatoz Testnet
const web3 = new Web3('https://rpc-testnet0.beatoz.io');

async function main() {
  // Get network status
  const status = await web3.beatoz.status();
  console.log('Connected to:', status.node_info.network);
  console.log('Latest block:', status.sync_info.latest_block_height);
}

main().catch(console.error);

Step 5: Run Your Script

node index.js

You should see output like:

Connected to: 0xbea701
Latest block: 1234567
