How-to: Install Arc Foundry

Arc Foundry is an Arc-specific fork of Foundry that supports Arc’s protocol-level differences from Ethereum. These steps install the arc-forge, arc-cast, and arc-anvil binaries. After installing Arc Foundry, you’re ready to deploy on Arc.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you’ve:

Confirmed access to a Unix-like shell (macOS, Linux, or Windows with WSL)
Installed a code editor such as VS Code

Steps

Step 1. Download the archive

Precompiled binaries are available for Linux (x86_64, arm64), macOS Apple Silicon, and Windows with WSL (use the Linux binary). For Intel Mac, see building from source. Download the archive for your platform from the Arc Foundry releases page.

Step 2. Extract and install the binaries

Extract the archive and move the binaries to a directory on your PATH:

tar -xzf arc-foundry-<version>-<target>.tar.gz
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
mv forge ~/.local/bin/arc-forge
mv cast  ~/.local/bin/arc-cast
mv anvil ~/.local/bin/arc-anvil

If ~/.local/bin isn’t already on your PATH, add it:

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

Add that line to your shell profile (.zshrc or .bash_profile) to persist it across sessions.

Step 3. Verify the installation

arc-forge --version

The command returns version information that shows Arc Foundry installed successfully. If you encounter issues with Arc Foundry commands or unexpected tool behavior, see Troubleshoot with Arc Foundry.
