  • Circom: Needed to compile a circuit into a .r1cs file.
  • SnarkJS: Used to create the proving and verification keys.

Follow these steps to install the required tools:

  • Install Rust: Visit the official Rust site for detailed installation instructions.

These resources will provide the necessary information to get your environment set up for using co-circom.
