Tooling: the command line and a local network
The tool that compresses into minutes what takes days elsewhere — and why you must know what it does on your behalf.

Learning objectives
- 01Bring up a complete local network from the command line
- 02Inspect the configuration the tool generates
- 03Reset an environment and explain what disappears
Guided lab
Create a local network, deploy a chain on it, then read the generated configuration in full.
Independent lab
Reproduce the equivalent minimal configuration by hand, without the tool.
Security angle
Keys generated by local tooling are public by construction: never carry them elsewhere.
Assessment
Working hand-written configuration, compared against the generated one.
