# Truffle Install

In this guide, we will walk you through the following topics:

· Dnero support for the [Ethereum RPC API](https://docs.thetatoken.org/docs/web3-stack-eth-rpc-support) suite.

· Support for smart contract development tools, including [Truffle](https://docs.thetatoken.org/docs/web3-stack-truffle).

#### Truffle

Using Truffle for DApp development on Dnero is pretty much the same as on Ethereum. This page will take you through the basics of testing a smart contract and deploying it to the Dnero Mainnet through truffle. In particular, we will use the following simple "coin-like" smart contract project for the demo:
