+This will launch a JSON-RPC server locally at `http://127.0.0.1:8545` with unlocked test accounts and pre-funded balances. Your contracts can be deployed and tested against this running network by configuring your scripts or commands to use the local endpoint.

+In a separate terminal, you can then deploy or test against the local node by specifying the `--network localhost` option if needed:
