First Deploy

Prerequisites

Node.js ≥ 18
Rust installed (curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh)
Solana CLI installed (sh -c "$(curl -sSfL https://release.anza.xyz/stable/install)")
Anchor CLI installed (cargo install --git https://github.com/coral-xyz/anchor avm --locked --force then avm install 1.2.0)

Step 1: Install bake

bash

npm install -g bakeacookie

Step 2: Login

bash

bake login

This creates a local keypair at ~/.config/solana/id.json (or links an existing one). Zero ceremony — no browser, no email, no wallet popup.

Step 3: Set cluster

bash

bake use cookie

This points bake at Cookie Chain's RPC endpoint (https://rpc.cookiescan.io). You can also use bake use mainnet, bake use devnet, or bake use http://localhost:8899 for local development.

Step 4: Scaffold project

bash

bake init my-program
cd my-program

This creates a new Anchor project with:

Pre-configured Anchor.toml for Cookie Chain
A sample program
Recipe Book integration ready

Step 5: Deploy

bash

bake deploy

This runs the full pipeline:

Build — anchor build --arch v0 --tools-version v1.57
Deploy — uploads the binary to Cookie Chain
Hash — computes SHA-256 of the compiled .so
Register — writes a permanent entry to the Recipe Book

You'll see output like:

Building recipe_book (anchor build)
Deploying recipe_book to cookie
Registered deploy in Recipe Book (entry #0)
✔ Deployed to cookie (entry #0)

Program ID: 56Vj61zFW4hHV6wdjnisrHtVwWDqyjixjpBgnoRJvzxL
Entry index: 0

Step 6: Verify

bash

bake prove

This verifies that what's running on-chain matches what the Recipe Book says was deployed, using real ELF-binary hash comparison.

Step 7: View logs

bash

bake logs -f

Live-stream your program's logs with Anchor event decoding.

You're done!

Your program is now:

✅ Deployed on Cookie Chain
✅ Registered in the Recipe Book (permanent on-chain history)
✅ Verifiable with bake prove
✅ Observable with bake logs
