Beginners Guide to Developing on Tezos341

## Introduction
Tezos is a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform that is designed to be secure, efficient, and self-amending. It uses a unique consensus algorithm called Liquid Proof-of-Stake (LPoS) that allows stakeholders to participate in the network's governance.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of setting up your development environment and building a simple smart contract on Tezos.
## Prerequisites
Before you can start developing on Tezos, you will need the following:
* A computer with a modern operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux)
* A text editor or integrated development environment (IDE)
* installed
* Rust installed
## Setting Up Your Development Environment
1. Install Tezos: You can install Tezos using the following commands:
```bash
# macOS
brew install tezos
# Windows
choco install tezos
# Linux
sudo apt-get install tezos
```
2. Set up your wallet: You will need a wallet to store your Tezos tokens and interact with the network. You can use a hardware wallet like a Ledger Nano S or a software wallet like Kukai.
3. Create a development network: You can create a development network using the following command:
```bash
tezos-node start --rpc-port 8732
```
## Building a Smart Contract


1. Create a new project directory
```bash
mkdir tezos-project
cd tezos-project
```


2. Initialize a new SmartPy project
```bash
cargo generate --init
```


3. Create a new smart contract file
```bash
touch src/
```


4. Implement your smart contract
In the `` file, add the following code:
```ocaml
let storage {
owner = address;
balance = mutez
}
let entrypoint = {
default = entry_default;
}
let entry_default params =
{
storage = {
owner = sender;
balance = 0;
};
operations = [];
}
```


5. Compile your smart contract
```bash
cargo run --bin contract_build -- --contract src/ --output-directory out
```


6. Deploy your smart contract
```bash
tezos-client originate contract transferring 0 from my_contract out/ --force --burn-cap 200
```
## Testing Your Smart Contract
You can use the `tezos-client` to interact with your smart contract. For example, you can call the `default` entrypoint using the following command:
```bash
tezos-client call contract my_contract default --entrypoint default
```
## Conclusion
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to set up your development environment and build a simple smart contract on Tezos. We encourage you to explore the Tezos documentation and develop more complex smart contracts.
