Solana nft staking program

Question

I am trying to implement this staking program but I don't understand how to deploy it, do I have to deploy the program first?

This the frontend:

https://github.com/SmartCodeBlockchainDev/Nelson-NFT-stacking-frontend

and the program associated:

https://github.com/SmartCodeBlockchainDev/Nelson-NFT-stacking

---

I make the following:

I've created a anchor project:

anchor init staking --javascript

then I put inside staking/programs the https://github.com/SmartCodeBlockchainDev/Nelson-NFT-stacking/tree/335688dfffb08e0920c394c835aa0afa29a85574 content

and I tried to build ( anchor build ) but it gave me the following error:

failed to read \staking\programs\*\Cargo.toml and

Caused by: El nombre de archivo, el nombre de directorio o la sintaxis de la etiqueta del volumen no son correctos. (os error 123)

and this:

Failed to obtain package metadata: `cargo metadata` exited with an error: error: failed to load manifest for workspace member `\\?\C:\staking\programs\*`

In order to interact with a program, it must be deployed to the network. For example, if you're trying to use Serum, the Serum program must be deployed somewhere, be it testnet, devnet, mainnet-beta, or even a local network.

The program has an id of 7zR41kNXcdLoyj3yDgEZVmEPR1euvRkrFW1jSqR1Y7ri declared in the code: https://github.com/SmartCodeBlockchainDev/Nelson-NFT-stacking/blob/335688dfffb08e0920c394c835aa0afa29a85574/src/lib.rs#L9

Unfortunately, this program hasn't been deployed on any network: https://explorer.solana.com/address/7zR41kNXcdLoyj3yDgEZVmEPR1euvRkrFW1jSqR1Y7ri which you can see since the account has 0 SOL. A deployed program will give more information, such as the owner and SOL in the account: https://explorer.solana.com/address/SPoo1Ku8WFXoNDMHPsrGSTSG1Y47rzgn41SLUNakuHy

To deploy a program, you'll need to:

• install the Solana CLI

sh -c "$(curl -sSfL https://release.solana.com/v1.10.8/install)"

• install the Anchor CLI (since the program uses Anchor):

npm i -g @project-serum/anchor-cli

• build the program

anchor build

• deploy it:

anchor deploy

More information about deploying a program at https://docs.solana.com/cli/deploy-a-program and about Anchor commands at https://project-serum.github.io/anchor/cli/commands.html

First, the error occurred because of the cargo.toml file is not pointing to your program's workspace. an easy way to fix this is to run anchor init on the root directory the copy the initial src folder into the one generated by anchor init inside the programs folder.
