Setup Local zeknd SuperChain

Purpose

The purpose of this document is to walk you through the process of setting up a local zeknd Chain. This step is not required for deploying to Extdev Testnet or Basechain, but we've included it because some people might find it useful. Say, for example, you're offline for large amounts of time. Why wouldn't you want to use that time do some dev work? So, for those of you considering working offline, this document will provide the necessary details.

#Installing and setting up zeknd

Currently the only way to use zeknd on Windows is to use the Windows Subsystem for Linux.1

Once you install that, you can continue with the below sections.

#Download zeknd

The following script automatically downloads the latest stable version of zeknd to the current directory:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zekndnetwork/zeknd-sdk-documentation/master/scripts/get_loom.sh | bash

#Initialize

To initialize zeknd, type:

./zeknd init

#Run Blockchain

Run the following command from within the directory created in the installation step:

./zeknd run
