To run your parachain, you will need to spin up a local network with your parachain configuration.
The pop up command can help with this.
Say we want to spin up a local network for your parachain. First we need to define a network configuration file. You can do this in the root of your project.
Add the following configuration, adapting as necessary.
You can use
paseo-localfor your Relay chain. Paseo is the community-led Polkadot Test Relay chain.
This network configuration will launch a relay chain using a
paseo-localinstance of Polkadot with two validator nodes to run the network:aliceandbob. It will also runparachain-template-nodewith one collator node namedcollator-01.
Cool. Let's spin this up, ensuring that your parachain binary has been built using pop build parachain.
If this is the first time you are running the pop up command, it will prompt you to source the required Polkadot binaries. This will take some time, grab some coffee.
Once all the binaries are sourced, you should have output similar to this.
Congrats! You have now spun up a network with your parachain running!
