Getting started - Project Setup

We will begin building out our own Uniswap V2 from scratch by initiating a new foundry project, However you can use another framework like hardhat since the end result is the same, for this example we will stick to reliable foundry.

Note: If you don't have foundry installed use the command below or visit docs.

# Installing
curl -L https://foundry.paradigm.xyz | bash
foundryup

# Verifying
forge --version

Following the steps below to get started with a simple starter kit:

1. Initializing​

forge init uniswapv2-from-scratch
cd uniswapv2-from-scratch

2. Clean up​

rm ./**/Counter*.sol

3. First smart contract​

touch src/UniswapV2Pair.sol

4. Boilerplate​
