Deploy a Governance Proposal to a Local Testnet

To create, start, and deploy an Agoric governance proposal to a local Agoric Testnet, do the following:

1. If you're using a Mac, ensure that you have Xcode installed.

2. Create a project folder that will allow you to run a local blockchain:

   agoric init <The name of your project>

   For example, if you wanted to run your local blockchain from a folder named "Demo", you'd run this command:

   agoric init Demo

   Note: Your project folder should not be located within your local clone of the agoric SDK.

3. Install additional dependencies by entering your project folder and running the following command.

   cd <Name of your project (e.g., Demo)>
   agoric install

4. Start the chain by running the following command. (Note: You should still be located within your project folder.)

   agoric start local-chain --verbose --reset

5. Wait for the first block to be produced.

6. Open a second terminal.

7. Within the second terminal, navigate to <agoric-sdk>/bin and submit the governance proposal by running the following command. (Make sure to enter "y" when asked to confirm the transaction.)

   ./agd --chain-id=agoriclocal --title=<Insert your own title> --description=<Insert your description> --home=<PATH to your project folder>/_agstate/keys --keyring-backend=test --from=provision tx gov submit-proposal swingset-core-eval <PATH to permissions> <PATH to proposal>

   For example, to deploy the PSM proposal referenced in the previous topics, run the following:

   ./agd --chain-id=agoriclocal --title=<Insert your own title> --description=<Insert your description> --home=<PATH to your project folder>/_agstate/keys --keyring-backend=test --from=provision tx gov submit-proposal swingset-core-eval ../packages/inter-protocol/test/psm/gov-add-psm-permit.json ../packages/inter-protocol/test/psm/gov-add-psm.js
