To run them, type:\n\n```bash\n    $ cd backend\n    $ make\n```\nThe files generated will end up stored in `perf/data/new/`\n\n## Processing Benchmarks\n\nFor this step, we require `python3`. Benchmarks are assumed to be in a parent folder called `bench-data` resembling [our raw data repository](https://github.com/zkCollective/bench-data).\n\n```bash\n    $ cd perf\n    $ make\n```\n\n## Fronted development\nTo develop the frontend, `npm` is required.\nRun:\n\n```bash\n    $ cd frontend\n    $ npm i\n    $ npm run dev\n```\n\nTo start a local development server\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmmaker%2Fzkalc","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmmaker%2Fzkalc","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmmaker%2Fzkalc/lists"}
