In addition to deploying and testing on the Fuel Testnet, you can also run a local Fuel Node.
There are two types of Fuel networks that can be run:
An in-memory node does not persist the blockchain state anywhere, it is only stored in memory as long as the node is active and running.
To spin-up a local in-memory Fuel node, run the following command:
fuel-core run --db-type in-memoryTo deploy a contract to the local node, run the following command:
forc deploy <signing-key> --url 127.0.0.1:4000/graphqlOr to deploy without using a signing key:
forc deploy --unsigned --url 127.0.0.1:4000/graphqlThis node does persist the blockchain state locally.
To run a local node with persistance, you must configure a chainConfig.json file. Here is an example of what that looks like:

}To start the node, run the following command:
fuel-core run --ip 127.0.0.1 --port 4000 --chain ./chainConfig.json --db-path ./.fueldbTo connect to the local node using a browser wallet, import the network address as:
http://127.0.0.1:4000/graphql
