Installation

This guide covers how to install the Interfold CLI and get your development environment set up.

Prerequisites

Before installing Interfold, make sure you have the following dependency installed:

• Rust (opens in a new tab)

Quick Install (Recommended)

The easiest way to install the Interfold CLI is using our installer script:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnosisguild/enclave/main/install | bash

Or if you prefer wget:

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnosisguild/enclave/main/install | bash

This script will download and install enclaveup, which is the standalone installer for the Interfold CLI.

Using enclaveup

Once you have enclaveup installed, you can manage your Interfold CLI installation:

Install the Interfold CLI

# Install to ~/.local/bin (default)
enclaveup install
 
# Install to /usr/local/bin (requires sudo)
enclaveup install --system

Running enclaveup install will install the latest version of the Interfold CLI. See enclaveup --help for more options.

Update the Enclave CLI

# Update to the latest version
enclaveup update
 
# Update system-wide installation
enclaveup update --system

Uninstall

# Remove the Enclave CLI
enclaveup uninstall
 
# Remove system-wide installation
enclaveup uninstall --system

Manual Installation

If you prefer to install manually:

1. Visit the releases page (opens in a new tab)
2. Download the appropriate release archive for your platform:
   • Linux: enclave-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
   • macOS: enclave-macos-aarch64.tar.gz
3. Extract the binary and place it in your PATH (e.g., ~/.local/bin or /usr/local/bin)
4. Make sure the binary is executable: chmod +x enclave

Platform Support

Note: Intel Macs automatically run Apple Silicon binaries through Rosetta 2 translation.

Building from Source

If you need to build enclave from source:

1. Ensure you have Rust installed (using rustup (opens in a new tab))
2. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/gnosisguild/enclave.git
cd enclave

3. Build the binary

cargo install --locked --path ./crates/cli --bin enclave -f

Verify Installation

After installation, verify that the Interfold CLI is working correctly:

enclave --help

You should see the help information for the Interfold CLI.

Next Steps

Once you have the Interfold CLI installed, you're ready to:

1. Run your first E3 program
2. Learn about E3 concepts
3. Explore the architecture
