Install dependencies

You’ll need these installed to start building:

• Docker — runs MongoDB, the server, and the frontend app locally

• Foundry — compiles and deploys the Solidity contracts; also provides Anvil, the local blockchain

curl -L https://foundry.paradigm.xyz | bash

• MongoDB Compass — GUI for inspecting the database during development

• Node.js — required to run the server and app

• Postman — for sending API requests during the walkthrough (curl works too)

• pnpm — the package manager used throughout this project

Pull the repo

This will include the OCF and Foundry repos as submodules.

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/transfer-agent-protocol/tap-cap-table.git

Then install workspace dependencies:

pnpm install

Everything you need to develop your onchain smart contracts lives under the chain folder in the repo.
