New contributors often lose time because something on their machine isn't set up yet. We'd like one command that checks everything before work starts.

What it should check (one line each, OK or MISSING → <fix hint>):

  1. Python ≥ 3.12
  2. forge / anvil installed, solc 0.8.28 available
  3. foundry/node_modules present (run npm ci if not)
  4. eth-account and py-multibase import
  5. torch imports in the active environment
  6. .env / .env.<network> exist, the RPC endpoint answers, and resolve_ipfs_config() resolves

Rules: read-only (it reports what's missing and never installs anything), and it exits non-zero if any check fails.

Form: scripts/preflight.sh or a dincli system doctor command, whichever you prefer.

Size: about half a day. Full background is in Developer/BACK_LOG.md, item BL-32.

    Hi @ashish04sharma, thank you, great to have you! I've assigned this to you.

    To get started:

    • Setup and contribution guides: DEVELOPMENT_SETUP.md and CONTRIBUTING.md
    • Branch: please branch off develop and open your pull request against develop.
    • Background: item BL-32 in Developer/BACK_LOG.md
    • Form: we'd suggest a standalone scripts/preflight.sh, since it still works before dincli is installed, which is exactly when people need it. If you'd rather build dincli system doctor, just say so here first.
    • Rules: read-only (report, never install), one line per check, and a non-zero exit if anything fails.

    If you get stuck or something in the setup docs is unclear, ask here or in our Telegram: https://t.me/+h46VS3AnO384ZGI8. Unclear docs are useful feedback for us too.

    Once your PR is up, a maintainer will review it. Thanks again!

    Closing as a duplicate of #245, which is already being handled in PR #255. Sorry, I missed that when I opened this one.

    @ashish04sharma thank you for offering to take it on. Would you like to pick another one from the good first issues? https://github.com/InfiniteZeroFoundation/DevNet/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20is%3Aopen%20label%3A%22good%20first%20issue%22
