Running the development Celo blockchain is helpful because it greatly speeds up development time. You will start with 10 accounts pre-funded with cGLD and cUSD and all transactions on the network are virtually instant.

### **Download the Celo monorepo**
You can run the development Celo blockchain in two ways:

To start, download the Celo monorepo [here](https://github.com/celo-org/celo-monorepo) or with the following command.
### 1. Use the celo-devchain NPM package

The easiest is to use a "pre-generated" devchain from the [celo-devchain](https://github.com/zviadm/celo-devchain) NPM package. For that all you have to do is:

```sh
> npm install --save-dev celo-devchain
> npx celo-devchain --port 7545

or

> yarn add --dev celo-devchain
> yarn run celo-devchain --port 7545
```

### 2. Initialize your own devchain from the monorepo

If you prefer, you can initialize your own devchain and build it from scratch. To start, download the Celo monorepo [here](https://github.com/celo-org/celo-monorepo) or with the following command.

```text
git clone https://github.com/celo-org/celo-monorepo.git

The process will finish and print `Ganache started`. Leave this terminal window open to leave the development chain running.

## Interacting with the chain

### **Inspecting the chain**

Now that we have a Celo development chain running, we probably want to know what accounts we have access to, how much cGLD and cUSD they have as well as the addresses of the deployed protocol contracts.
