## 🍎 Overview
2021-02-25 07:06:04 +03:00
2020-08-18 03:21:10 +03:00
Welcome to the Leo programming language.
2020-04-24 03:43:58 +03:00
2020-08-19 11:34:50 +03:00
Leo provides a high-level language that abstracts low-level cryptographic concepts and makes it easy to
integrate private applications into your stack. Leo compiles to circuits making zero-knowledge proofs practical.
2020-04-24 03:43:58 +03:00
2020-08-19 11:34:50 +03:00
The syntax of Leo is influenced by traditional programming languages like JavaScript, Scala, and Rust, with a strong emphasis on readability and ease-of-use.
Leo offers developers with tools to sanity check circuits including unit tests, integration tests, and console functions.
2020-08-18 22:15:14 +03:00
2022-08-19 01:45:30 +03:00
Leo is one part of a greater ecosystem for building private applications on [Aleo](https://aleo.org/).
The language is currently in an alpha stage and is subject to breaking changes.

## ⚙️️ Build Guide
2020-05-21 21:03:43 +03:00
2023-07-07 01:08:15 +03:00
### 🦀 Install Rust
2020-08-18 03:21:10 +03:00
We recommend installing Rust using [rustup](https://www.rustup.rs/). You can install `rustup` as follows:
- macOS or Linux:
```bash
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
```
- Windows (64-bit):
Download the [Windows 64-bit executable](https://win.rustup.rs/x86_64) and follow the on-screen instructions.
- Windows (32-bit):
Download the [Windows 32-bit executable](https://win.rustup.rs/i686) and follow the on-screen instructions.
2023-07-07 01:08:15 +03:00
### 🐙 Build from Source Code
2020-08-18 03:21:10 +03:00
2022-08-19 01:45:30 +03:00
We recommend installing Leo by building from the source code as follows:
2020-05-21 21:03:43 +03:00
2020-08-18 03:21:10 +03:00
```bash
# Download the source code
git clone https://github.com/AleoHQ/leo
cd leo
2022-08-24 12:42:24 +03:00
# Install 'leo'
$ cargo install --path .
2020-08-18 03:21:10 +03:00
```
2022-08-24 12:46:43 +03:00
Now to use leo, in your terminal, run:
2022-08-24 12:46:13 +03:00
```bash
leo
```
2023-07-07 01:08:15 +03:00
## 🚀 Quick Start
2020-08-18 03:21:10 +03:00
Use the Leo CLI to create a new project
```bash
2021-04-21 00:29:10 +03:00
# create a new `hello-world` Leo project
2022-08-19 01:45:30 +03:00
leo new helloworld
cd helloworld
2020-08-18 06:21:24 +03:00
# build & setup & prove & verify
leo run
2020-08-18 03:21:10 +03:00
```
2020-08-18 06:21:24 +03:00
The `leo new` command creates a new Leo project with a given name.
2022-08-19 01:45:30 +03:00
The `leo run` command will compile the program into Aleo instructions and run it.
2020-08-18 06:21:24 +03:00
Congratulations! You've just run your first Leo program.
