Anchor

Install using pre-build binary on x86_64 Linux

Anchor binaries are available via an NPM package @project-serum/anchor-cli. Only x86_64 Linux is supported currently, you must build from source for other OS'.

Build from source for other operating systems

For now, we can use Cargo to install the CLI.

cargo install --git https://github.com/project-serum/anchor --tag v0.20.1 anchor-cli --locked

On Linux systems you may need to install additional dependencies if cargo install fails. On Ubuntu,

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install -y pkg-config build-essential libudev-dev

Now verify the CLI is installed properly.

anchor --version
