Barretenberg Installation

bb is the CLI tool for generating and verifying proofs for Noir programs using the Barretenberg proving library. It also allows generating solidity verifier contracts for which you can verify contracts which were constructed using bb.

Installing bb​

Open a terminal on your machine, and write:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AztecProtocol/aztec-packages/master/barretenberg/cpp/installation/install | bash
source ~/.zshrc
