This is a fast way to create and configure an Algorand node and start developing.

Usage

Use the sandbox command to interact with the Algorand Sandbox.

sandbox commands:
  up [mainnet||testnet||betanet] [-s||--skip-snapshot]
          -> spin up the sandbox environment, uses testnet by default.
             Optionally provide -s to skip initializing with a snapshot.
  down    -> tear down the sandbox environment
  restart -> restart the sandbox
  enter   -> enter the sandbox container
  clean   -> stops and deletes containers and data directory
  test    -> runs some tests to make sure everything is working correctly

algorand commands:
  logs        -> stream algorand logs with the carpenter utility
  status      -> get node status
  goal (args) -> run goal command like 'goal node status'
  dryrun (tx) -> run 'goal clerk dryrun -t tx' to test a transaction
