Setup

In this section, we will teach you how to setup a self-contained crate which can generate proofs of programs that have been compiled with the SP1 toolchain inside the SP1 zkVM, using the sp1-sdk crate.

The recommended way to setup your first program to prove inside the zkVM is using the method described in Quickstart which will create a script folder.

cargo prove new <name>
cd script

Manual​

You can also manually setup a project. First create a new cargo project:

cargo new script
cd script

Cargo Manifest​

Inside this crate, add the sp1-sdk crate as a dependency. Your Cargo.toml should look like as follows:

[workspace]
[package]
version = "0.1.0"
name = "script"
edition = "2021"

[dependencies]
sp1-sdk = "3.0.0"

The sp1-sdk crate includes the necessary utilities to generate, save, and verify proofs.
