Plutus Pioneer Program

My homework done over the course of the Plutus Pioneer Program Cohort 3. It is a program to recruit and train developers in Plutus for the Cardano ecosystem with the goal of learning the core principles of how to code in both Haskell and Plutus.

To set up the environment

I followed this guide by renzwo: https://github.com/renzwo/cardano-plutus-apps-install-m1 This guide is for M1 macs, but it worked for me with one small change in step 4:

build-users-group = nixbld

substituters        = https://hydra.iohk.io https://iohk.cachix.org https://cache.nixos.org/
trusted-public-keys = hydra.iohk.io:f/Ea+s+dFdN+3Y/G+FDgSq+a5NEWhJGzdjvKNGv0/EQ= iohk.cachix.org-1:DpRUyj7h7V830dp/i6Nti+NEO2/nhblbov/8MW7Rqoo= cache.nixos.org-1:6NCHdD59X431o0gWypbMrAURkbJ16ZPMQFGspcDShjY=

sandbox = false
extra-sandbox-paths = /System/Library/Frameworks /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks /usr/lib /private/tmp /private/var/tmp /usr/bin/env
experimental-features = nix-command
extra-experimental-features = flakes

I removed the system section as my MACHTYPE was not x86_64-darwin. You can check your using % set | grep "MACHTYPE" in the terminal.

To compile code

If you would like to compile the code in cabal repl:

1. clone the plutus pioneer program from the IOG repo:

git clone https://github.com/input-output-hk/plutus-pioneer-program

2. start nix-shell

nix-shell

3. nagvate to the section you would like to complile, for example:

cd /plutus-pioneer-program/code/week02

4. run cabal build

cabal build

5. another option is to use cabal repl to interact with the code

cabal repl

6. Done!
