Great video - very straightforward! I ran into 1 or 2 small issues on my end but a simple Google search helped to rectify them. Thanks so much.

Can't install AVM - says Command 'avm' not found, did you mean:
I installed cargo, anchor rust but cannot AVM

[daveproxy]

I don't get what you did with the node_modules there. I'd like to replicate it in hardhat

i got so confused when you were swapping between the two OS. Then when trying to run the npm @solana/web3.js i was getting a ton of errors in powershell. Sadly i gave up

[privateryan]

Andy, when i run solana-test-validator command, the output is “aborted” any way around this? Thanks

[metasal]

Congrats on the new machine. Is it purple? 💜

Im getting stuck on the rust installation eitht the ctx variable the message wont go away i tried to manually put a underscore but nothing changes

[mtucki]

To anyone getting errors mentioning rustc when doing 'anchor build', do this:


And then again:

anchor build


That should do the trick.

I can't seem to first with first stage as I keep getting an "Unsupported Machine Architecture Error"

[ZAW]

I know you are probably busy, but I can;t seem to get past thus error, i've been racking my brain at it for hour now :)

> console.log("hi")
<repl>.ts:4:1 - error TS2584: Cannot find name 'console'. Do you need to change your target library? Try changing the 'lib' compiler option to include 'dom'.
