Appendix F. Wasm toolchain setup

This section provides instructions for setting up the Wasm toolchain, including the installation of wasm-tools, wasmtime, wasi-virt, and wac. These tools are essential for developing, running, and managing Wasm applications. This appendix is dependent on the tools installed in Appendix B, specifically Rust and cargo.

F.1 Installing wasm-tools

wasm-tools is a collection of tools for working with Wasm, including validation, inspection, and transformation. You can install it using cargo, the Rust package manager. Run the following command:

cargo install wasm-tools --version 1.214.0

F.2 Installing Wasmtime

wasmtime is a lightweight Wasm runtime designed for running Wasm modules/components in various environments. You can install it using cargo:

cargo install wasmtime-cli --version 24.0.0

F.3 Installing wasi-virt

You can install wasi-virt, like so:

cargo install wasi-virt --version 0.1.0

F.4 Installing wac

You can install wac, like so:

cargo install wac-cli --versin 0.5.0
