Deploy the Local Testnet

Prerequisites

• Initial Setup

Step 1. Run a Local Node

Start a local Gnoland blockchain node with the following command:

$ gnoland start

After a few moments, you will start to see blocks being produced on your network.

Step 2. Build a Web Page (Optional)

This section will teach you how to launch your own gno.land web page that will serve as a docs page for your network. Although this section is optional, we highly recommend completing it.

Prerequisites

• Initial Setup - Build gnoland

Run the web page with the following command:

gnoweb

To confirm that your web page is running on your network, use a browser to access the following link:

{% embed url="http://localhost:8888" %}

Under the Explore new packages. section, you will see a list of pre-built realms and packages that are already deployed on your network. You may click on each one to view its details.
