Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Generate a starter project, launch a local Hardhat environment, deploy its example contract locally and start the frontend dev server.

Run the command below to create the project.
Documented command
```
npx create-web3
```
In the generated project, install dependencies with yarn or the command below.
Documented command
```
npm install
```
Run yarn chain or the command below in the project directory to start the local Hardhat environment.
Documented command
```
npm run chain
```
In another terminal, enter the project directory and run yarn deploy or the command below to deploy the example contract locally.
Documented command
```
npm run deploy
```
Run yarn dev or the command below to start the development server.

A generated project with a running local chain, the example contract deployed locally and the frontend development server started.
