Install Nillion

Install the Nillion SDK, including the nada tool you'll use to create a Nada project and the nillion-devnet tool you'll use to spin up a local Nillion network.

Use nilup to install the Nillion SDK

1. Install nilup, the Nillion SDK tool installer and version manager.

For the security-conscious, please download the install.sh script, so that you can inspect how it works, before piping it to bash.

curl https://nilup.nilogy.xyz/install.sh | bash

Close your terminal. Open a new terminal and confirm global nilup tool installation

nilup -V

// Your output should be similar to the below
nilup 22c84830fff3c86beec27a8cb6353d45e7bfb8a4

2. Use nilup to install the latest version of the Nillion SDK.

nilup install latest
nilup use latest
nilup init

While we will not collect any personal information, we still recommend using a new wallet address that cannot be linked to your identity by any third party. For more information, check out our privacy policy.

nilup instrumentation enable --wallet <your-eth-wallet-address>
