This is a quick tutorial on starting up a NEO private net w/GAS on either PC or Mac with Docker and neo-python, without locally installing python.
Open a terminal
Very important: Navigate to, or create a folder to hold your smart contract code. We will be linking this folder to be shared with the docker container, so that you can access your smart contract files from within the container.
For example:
We will be using neo-privnet-with-gas. It contains the neo private net instance with the NEO/GAS already in a wallet.
Run the command
docker run -d --name neo-privnet-with-gas -p 20333-20336:20333-20336/tcp -p 30333-30336:30333-30336/tcp -v "$(pwd)":/opt/neo-python/smartContracts metachris/neo-privnet-with-gasCheck to make sure the container is running
docker psSSH into the docker container by running
docker exec -it neo-privnet-with-gas /bin/bashNavigate to the neo-python folder
cd opt/neo-pythonIn this folder you should see the smartContracts folder. It is linked to the local directory on your host machine.
Download the pre-made wallet
curl https://s3.amazonaws.com/neo-experiments/neo-privnet.wallet -o main.walletJack into the matrix neo privnet container
python3 prompt.py -c protocol.privnet.jsonYou should now be in the neo command line. This will be where you interact with your private neo net.
Open the pre-made wallet
open wallet main.walletEnter the wallet password
cozRebuild the wallet
wallet rebuildCheck the wallet balance
walletThe wallet should have the 100m NEO and ~6k GAS
Congrats! You are now officially set up, and have taken the first step on your way to start writing your own dapps and smart contracts!
