How To Set Up NEO Blockchain Private Net

While working on smart contracts I have found out that setting up can be a bit confusing for beginners so this tutorial will show you how to do so easily.

I use the NEO Blockchain for my smart contracts . A private net allows you to develop your contracts and test them. It also comes with a lot of free NEO and GAS !

Installation

Our private net will be running on Docker so you will first need download and set that up.

Now clone the repo to your machine:

git clone https://github.com/CityOfZion/neo-local.git

Change to the newly cloned directory on your machine:

cd neo-local

Usage

In the Neo-local folder :

Start the project:

make start

Stop the project:

make stop

When you do make stop , neo services are automatically created , these include Neo-python , Neo-privatenet, Neo-scan and Postgres

Blockchain Explorer

To view your local NEO Blockchain open

http://localhost:4000

And you are good to go!
