A development tool that looks, acts and talks like Flow
The Flow Emulator is a lightweight tool that emulates the behaviour of the real Flow network.
The emulator exposes a gRPC server that implements the Flow Access API, which is designed to have near feature parity with the real network API.
The emulator is bundled with the Flow CLI, a command-line interface for working with Flow.
Follow these steps to install the Flow CLI on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
To learn more about using the Emulator, have a look at the README of the repository.
