# Environment Setup & Installation

Download and install the following repository by the Asset Chain team to setup your assetchain development environment!

The Dapp example uses several libraries that will help you develop, but make sure that you have [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads), [Node](https://nodejs.org/en/download/), and [Yarn ](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install/#windows-stable)installed already.

Use any of your favorite code editors with [Solidity support](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=JuanBlanco.solidity).[ ](https://github.com/foundry-rs/foundry)[Foundry ](https://book.getfoundry.sh/)or [Hardhat (recommended) ](https://hardhat.org/)would also be good to use in any of your new dApp projects as they provide local blockchain development environments.
