In this guide, we'll walk you through how to set up the Sei blockchain locally on your machine.

Local Sei Node

Running a Local Single-node Testnet

To run Sei locally, run the following command

./scripts/initialize_local_chain.sh

Once you run the initialization script, the seid process will be running 1 node locally. It will also seed 50 accounts.

To verify the status of the local blockchain, open a new tab and run

seid status | jq

If the chain is running properly, you will see an output similar to the following

If you want to run more than one nodes, please check the docker based approach in the next page.
