Getting Started

Using an AI coding agent?

Install the Ootle skill so Claude Code (or another agent) understands the SDK, CLI workflow, and common pitfalls:

mkdir -p .claude/skills/ootle && curl -fsSo .claude/skills/ootle/SKILL.md \
  https://ootle.tari.com/.well-known/skills/claude-code/SKILL.md

Skills for Cursor, Windsurf, and Aider are listed at ootle.tari.com/llms.txt.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

• Rust: The Rust programming language and Cargo package manager. We recommend using rustup to manage your Rust toolchains. You’ll need the wasm32-unknown-unknown target.

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown

• Tari Ootle CLI (Optional but Recommended): For local testing and publishing templates, we suggest using the Tari Ootle CLI. Install it with cargo install tari-ootle-cli (this creates a binary called tari).

Next Steps

• Set up a wallet to interact with the Ootle network. Follow our Wallet Setup guide to get started.
