The src/testnet.sh script will spawns a Redis server and local processes that will interact with each other in a peer-to-peer fashion.
These nodes will randomly generate transactions to fill up the blockchain.
cd src
./testnet.sh
# add MAX_NODES to increase the number of nodes in the local network
MAX_NODES=15 ./testnet.sh
From the root directory, run the command:
python -m pytest tests
