QUICK UPDATE: In the Solana command section, I assumed I was already on the localhost config. I was wrong. If you decide to change to localhost, you have to run solana-test-validator to deploy your node first and then run the commands on a separate wsl instance for the commands to succeed.
Thanks! I'm going to stay away from the discord community for now. Last time I did that I decided to jump to a new crypto platform... I recommend the official Solana discord community. They have a lot of great dev help over there!
@@JoshsDevBox fair point! it seems like it might be a good idea to get everyone together to learn together in a community regardless of platform though, do consider it!
I am very new in Solana! After installing all required things. I typped "solana balance" but it says "solana: command not found". I have installed solona tho. Could you please help me where i am stuck?
i keep getting "zsh: IOT instruction solana-test-validator" whenever i run " solana-test-validator" ans also, Do i have to run the PATH whenever i open a new terminal? i added the path to .profile and .zshrc but i dont seem to get it. i work with kali Linux
My solana-test-validator kept failing, saying test-ledger/admin.rpc does not exist. I found a solution! Here it is: See the /mnt/c/Users/... ? that means that you are on a mounted windows image inside your WSL Ubuntu (or whatever distro you installed) machine. you should do command cd .. until you are out of the mnt directory and then change to home/. that will take you out of the windows mounted system to the actual linux WSL, and then working from there everything should be fine. Take into account that everytime you open a new bash it will open by default on the mnt system, so you need to change it.
I haven't done it personally, but I don't see why not, you're essentially just writing a program to take some SOL the user sends and adding them to your own wallet.

Hey leet dev, I have a question about the security of a smart contract developer. Isn't a freelance smart contract under a lot of stress for if let's say he missed a bug or messed up some code, where a lot of money gets lost? Is the freelance developer responsible for that mistake or the person hiring him? How would a freelance developer protect himself for this?
I imagine this wouldn't be any different from any other development job. After a freelancer completes the work and the client approves it, I'd imagine the client takes ownership of the code and then its their problem. Of course I'm just a corporate dev, so what do I know? #NotDevelopmentAdvice
Good suggestion! Maybe once I'm done with Solana I'll move onto another crypto! But in the mean time, one great resource I saw was: learn.figment.io/protocols/near
Thank you for this tutorial. Been learning a lot. I been stuck on trying to get solana-test-validator running on WSL. For some reason solana cli disappears each time I exit WSL and return and I'm stuck having to reinstall solana cli over and over again each time I boot up WSL. Do you know why this may be?
Hmm interesting problem, unfortunately I have not ran into the issue. You can try asking your question on the Solana discord server, someone might have ran into the problem.
@@JoshsDevBox Thanks for your reply. I figured it out. Lol! It was a pretty amateur mistake and I'm embarrassed to explain but I will anyway just incase anybody else ever comes across this issue. Solana was installed correctly following their instructions, the issue was I was root user when I installed, I guess I shouldn't have been and I didn't update the .profile correctly so the PATH did not have the correct link to bin file. So once I closed out the session and logged back in the command solana was not found. But more importantly, I recommend any WSL user to make sure to install solana by building from source, as solana-test-validator aborts all the times I tried. Building from source solved this and I was able to get it running.
@@LeoN-nl9kj Hell there!. I too am facing a similar problem. I'm not able to understand what you explained in your comments. I do not know how to change the address.
i installed the solana cli and it got added to my path file but still when i open a new terminal and type in solana it says unknown command any tip ? (catalina)

Where the Plutus at? :(
This is great Leet Dev, hope to see more of this, subscribed
Great dev tutorials! Please keep them coming!!!
Hey LeetDev looking forward to your next video you rock
Been trying to learn Solana dev the right way, this is perfect. Any chance you'll create a community discord so we can all connect?

thanks leet dev sir, looking forward to more such awesome tutorials !
Awesome video!!
Thanks, great tutorial.
@JoshsDevBox Do you trust Solana js libraries and all the dependencies included?
i keep getting "zsh: IOT instruction solana-test-validator" whenever i run " solana-test-validator"
ans also, Do i have to run the PATH whenever i open a new terminal? i added the path to .profile and .zshrc but i dont seem to get it. i work with kali Linux
Thank you !
doesnt a solana validator node have MASSIVE spec requirements?
this is great...it gives elon musk vibes
😃

We have the same dream! Is the button to become a millionaire actually a command-line?
Will rust developers will be in demand in future?
Hey man, when I try to run Solana test validator I get an error something about a block error do you have a idea why
my solana airdrop not working
Requesting airdrop of 10 SOL
Error: airdrop request failed. This can happen when the rate limit is reached.
Hi, could you tell me please, is it possible to create smart contract on Solana for token with adding some fee?
Thank you for your video tutorial.

do you have a donation address?
Thanks for asking! I added it in the description!
Can you make some videos on Near Protocol.

Oh. Thank you is there a way we can check and verify solana Dapps Smart contracts like we can on Ethereum?

Did you correctly add the PATH to your .profile? I had a similar issue and resolved it by updating this.
