Install Truffle globally.
npm install -g truffle
Download the box. This also takes care of installing the necessary dependencies.
truffle unbox webpack
Run the development console.
truffle develop
Compile and migrate the smart contracts. Note inside the development console we don't preface commands with
truffle
.compile migrate
Run the webpack server for front-end hot reloading (outside the development console). Smart contract changes must be manually recompiled and migrated.
// Serves the front-end on http://localhost:8080 npm run dev
Truffle can run tests written in Solidity or JavaScript against your smart contracts. Note the command varies slightly if you're in or outside of the development console.
// If inside the development console.
test
// If outside the development console..
truffle test
