Setup Environment Variables

If you want to test your contracts on Ethereum mainnet fork, you'll need an ALCHEMY_MAINNET_RPC_URL environment variable. You can get one from Alchemy website for free.

Then, you can create a .env file with the following.

ALCHEMY_MAINNET_RPC_URL='<your-own-alchemy-mainnet-rpc-url>'

Add your Private Key

If you want to deploy your contracts or interact with deployed contracts on Ethereum mainnet, you need to add your PRIVATE_KEY environment variable, with a private key from your wallet.

PRIVATE_KEY='your-PRIVATE_KEY'

*Note: If using metamask, you'll have to add a 0x to the start of your private key)
