NPM project use
If you want to install Ganache into an npm project, run:
$ npm install ganache
You can then add Ganache to your package.json scripts:
"scripts": {
"ganache": "ganache --wallet.seed myCustomSeed"
}
See Documentation for additional command line options.
Then start it:
$ npm run ganache
Programmatic use
You can use Ganache programmatically from Node.js. Install Ganache into your npm package:
$ npm install ganache
Then you can use ganache as an EIP-1193 provider only, an EIP-1193 provider and JSON-RPC web server, as a Web3 provider, an ethers provider, or a viem transport.
As an EIP-1193 provider only:
const ganache = require("ganache");
const options = {};
const provider = ganache.provider(options);
const accounts = await provider.request({ method: "eth_accounts", params: [] });
As an EIP-1193 provider and JSON-RPC web server:
const ganache = require("ganache");
const options = {};
const server = ganache.server(options);
const PORT = 0; // 0 means any available port
server.listen(PORT, async err => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(`ganache listening on port ${server.address().port}...`);
const provider = server.provider;
const accounts = await provider.request({
method: "eth_accounts",
params: []
});
});
As a web3.js provider:
To use ganache as a Web3 provider:
