Problem
Fixed a critical issue in the documentation where the Solana CLI installation command references a non-official domain (anza.xyz) instead of the official Solana domain (release.solana.com). Using the correct URL ensures the safety, authenticity, and reliability of the installation process.
Summary of Changes
Replaced all instances of the following command:
sh -c "$(curl -sSfL https://release.anza.xyz/stable/install)"
with:
sh -c "$(curl -sSfL https://release.solana.com/stable/install)"
Updated affected files:
• docs/intro/dev.md
• docs/intro/installation.md
• content/courses/onchain-development/local-setup.md
• content/guides/getstarted/solana-test-validator.md
Verified and retained references to Anza where appropriate for non-CLI-related products (e.g., Agave Validator, SDKs).
Why This Fix Is Necessary:
• The official domain release.solana.com is the verified and trusted source for installing the Solana CLI.
• Using a non-official domain (anza.xyz) could lead to potential security risks and confusion for developers.
• The fix aligns the documentation with Solana’s official installation guidelines.
Impact:
• Developers following the updated documentation will now install the Solana CLI from the official and secure source, avoiding risks of using unverified binaries.
• Other references to anza.xyz remain untouched if they are related to optional tools or SDKs provided by Anza.
Testing:
• Verified the updated Solana CLI installation command on Linux and macOS to confirm proper functionality.
• Checked compatibility of the corrected documentation with existing developer workflows.
Additionally corrected typos, grammar and spelling errors in the docs files.
