Installing WebAssembly tooling

⚠️

Golem only supports specific versions of wasm-tools and wit-bindgen. Please make sure to follow the guides carefully and install the correct versions.

You will need both wasm-tools and wit-bindgen to work with WebAssembly in a lot of languages. You can either download these from GitHub or build from source using cargo.
