 Let's go barebones. Doing the bare minimum is not only simple, but also allows you to easily adapt it to almost any frontend framework.
 
 Barebones means we can immediately start with the dependencies even on an empty folder 😈:
 
 ```bash
-bun i @noir-lang/noir_wasm@1.0.0-beta.2 @noir-lang/noir_js@1.0.0-beta.2 @aztec/bb.js@0.72.1
+bun i @noir-lang/noir_js@1.0.0-beta.2 @aztec/bb.js@0.72.1
 ```
 
 Wait, what are these dependencies?
 
-- `noir_wasm` is the `wasm` version of the Noir compiler. Although most developers prefer to use `nargo` for compiling, there's nothing wrong with `noir_wasm`. We like `noir_wasm`.
 - `noir_js` is the main Noir package. It will execute our program, and generate the witness that will be sent to the backend.
 - `bb.js` is the Typescript interface for Aztec's Barretenberg proving backend. It also uses the `wasm` version in order to run on the browser.

+Finally we're up for something cool. But before we can execute a Noir program, we need to compile it into ACIR: an abstract representation.

+This can be done by cd-ing into our circuit directory and running the `nargo compile` command.

+This will write the compiled circuit into the `target` directory, which we'll then load into our JS later on.

 ## Setting up our app
 
 Remember when apps only had one `html` and one `js` file? Well, that's enough for Noir webapps. Let's create them:

-Finally we're up for something cool. But before we can execute a Noir program, we need to compile it into ACIR: an abstract representation. Here's where `noir_wasm` comes in.
-
-`noir_wasm` expects a filesystem so it can resolve dependencies. While we could use the `public` folder, let's just import those using the nice `?url` syntax provided by vite. At the top of the file:
-
-```js
-import { compile, createFileManager } from "@noir-lang/noir_wasm"
-
-import main from "./circuit/src/main.nr?url";
-import nargoToml from "./circuit/Nargo.toml?url";
-```
-
-Compiling on the browser is common enough that `createFileManager` already gives us a nice in-memory filesystem we can use. So all we need to compile is fetching these files, writing them to our filesystem, and compile. Add this function:
-
-```js
-export async function getCircuit() {
- const fm = createFileManager("/");
- const { body } = await fetch(main);
- const { body: nargoTomlBody } = await fetch(nargoToml);
-
- fm.writeFile("./src/main.nr", body);
- fm.writeFile("./Nargo.toml", nargoTomlBody);
- return await compile(fm);
-}
