Get the example app

This quest assumes you've finished Getting Started — the Aztec toolchain installed and a local network running. The example app is a small private-voting dApp with a clean split, via plain npm workspaces, between the Noir contracts (packages/contracts) and the TypeScript frontend (packages/app) — you'll meet both in the next steps.

bash

git clone https://github.com/aztec-labs-eng/aztec-private-voting
cd aztec-private-voting
aztec-up use       # select the toolchain pinned in .aztecrc
npm install

Clone the Aztec private-voting example app, select the
Aztec toolchain from its .aztecrc, install dependencies with npm, and give me a
tour of its layout — which directories hold the Noir contracts vs. the TypeScript
frontend, and what the npm workspace scripts do.

The layout you'll be working in:

code

packages/
  contracts/                     Noir contracts + generated TypeScript artifacts
    private_voting/src/main.nr   The PrivateVoting contract itself
    private_fee_juice/src/main.nr  Private FPC that sponsors testnet votes
    test/src/lib.nr              Contract unit tests
  app/                           React + Vite frontend
    src/aztec/                   The Aztec layer: VotingClient, deployment, bridge, fee payment
    src/connection.ts            Connection lifecycle the UI binds to
scripts/
  deploy.ts                      Declarative deploy spec (local / testnet)
test/integration/                In-process-network integration tests
