This guide shows you how to deploy an Avalanche L1 to a local Avalanche network.
This how-to guide focuses on taking an already created Avalanche L1 configuration and deploying it to a local Avalanche network.
In the following commands, make sure to substitute the name of your Avalanche L1 configuration for <blockchainName>.
To deploy your Avalanche L1, run:
avalanche blockchain deploy < blockchainNam e > and select Local Network to deploy on. Alternatively, you can bypass this prompt by providing the --local flag. For example:
avalanche blockchain deploy < blockchainNam e > --local The command may take a couple minutes to run.
Note: If you run bash on your shell and are running Avalanche-CLI on ARM64 on Mac, you will require Rosetta 2 to be able to deploy Avalanche L1s locally. You can download Rosetta 2 using softwareupdate --install-rosetta .
If all works as expected, the command output should look something like this:
> avalanche blockchain deploy myblockchain

To manage the newly deployed local Avalanche network, see the avalanche network command tree .
You may deploy multiple Avalanche L1s concurrently, but you can't deploy the same Avalanche L1 multiple times without resetting all deployed Avalanche L1 state.
To redeploy the Avalanche L1, you first need to wipe the Avalanche L1 state. This permanently deletes all data from all locally deployed Avalanche L1s. To do so, run
You are now free to redeploy your Avalanche L1 with
avalanche blockchain deploy < blockchainNam e > --local
