Install truffle and ganache-cli

truffle v5.2.4
ganache-cli v6.12.2

npm install -g truffle
npm install -g ganache-cli

Deploy contratcs and run locally

Install metamask browser extension Download and install metamask from here. Before proceeding further, it is advisable to split 3 terminals to avoid confusion. Run local Ethereum blockchain on first terminal

ganache-cli

> Note: Do not close `ganache-cli` (the blockchain network needs to be running all the time)

Configure metamask on the browser with following details

New RPC URL: http://localhost:8545
Chain ID: 1337 Import accounts using private keys from ganache-cli to the metamask extension on the browser

Run client side

Deploy smart contract to the (local) blockchain

# on the Election-blockchain-class directory
truffle migrate

Note: Use truffle migrate --reset for re-deployments

1. Launch the development server (fronted)

   npm run dev

Note: If you face text visibility errors on client side, try changing your browser to dark mode.

Polygon

Repeat all the above steps similarily as done before

  ganache-cli

1. Now copy one of the private keys given by ganache-cli to .secrets file present in root folder

2. Now we need to create a new network i.e. Mumbai faucet

3. Next, click on Networks and then Add Network:

4. Here, we will add the following configurations for the Mumbai test network as listed here: Network Name: Mumbai TestNet New RPC URL: https://rpc-mumbai.maticvigil.com Chain ID: 80001 Currency Symbol: Matic

5. Save this, then you should be able to switch to and use the new network!

Finally, you will need some testnet Matic tokens in order to interact with the applications. To get these, you can visit the Matic Faucet, inputting the address of the wallets that you would like to request the tokens.

1. Now we have some test Matic in our accounts (typically 0.5 Matic)

2. Run this command in root of the project directory:

$ truffle compile
$ truffle migrate --reset --network matic

Contract will be deployed on Matic's Mumbai Testnet

1. finally run

$ npm run dev
