Hello, world!
This guide shows how to get started developing on BigFile quickly by deploying your first 'Hello, world!' smart contract.
Choosing a developer environment
To deploy a simple 'Hello, world!' smart contract, you can use a variety of developer environments, such as:
Native installation of tools on Linux, Mac, or Windows (using WSL) systems.
Cloud-based environments such as Gitpod or GitHub Codespaces.
Which environment should you choose?
Gitpod and GitHub Codespaces are cloud-based developer environments that can be accessed via a web browser. The Gitpod and GitHub Codespace examples linked on this page come with the necessary tools and dependencies pre-installed. These environments use limited cloud resources and may not scale well for building large, complex projects.
Smart contract code
It is important to note that a cube is capable of storing both the frontend assets and backend code.
