Preparing your environment

Clone simplified node code.

For all exercises starting from Exercise 02, you will need the code from our onboarding repository. You can clone it from:

GitHub - Cardinal-Cryptography/onboarding-aleph-node: Simplified `aleph-node` for onboarding tutorialGitHub

Building whole project from scratch may take a couple of minutes, so before going to the exercises, you can run cargo build --release in the root directory of your clone, so it can compile while you are occupied. Release flag is optional, but it is usually better to work with an optimized build.
