# Setup & Build the ZKWASM binary

To build and run these projects requires the Rust compiler. Install rustup with:

```console
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.3 https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
```

Verify the installation with:

```console
rustc --version
```

Clone the [zkWasm](https://github.com/DelphinusLab/zkWasm) repo and move into the directory:

```console
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/DelphinusLab/zkWasm.git
```

Build using cargo (CPU version):

```console
cargo build --release
```

Build GPU version (The recommended way of running zkWASM prover):

```console
cargo build --release --features perf
```

Also if you do not have a powerful gpu (eg. nvidia-4090), you can compromize the performance by

```console
cargo build --release --features cuda
```
