+# Laconicd Fixturenet
+
+Instructions for deploying a local Laconic blockchain "fixturenet" for development and testing purposes using laconic-stack-orchestrator.
+
+## 1. Install Laconic Stack Orchestrator
+Installation is covered in detail [here](https://github.com/cerc-io/stack-orchestrator#user-mode) but if you're on Linux and already have docker installed it should be as simple as:
+```
+$ mkdir my-working-dir
+$ cd my-working-dir
+$ curl -L -o ./laconic-so https://github.com/cerc-io/stack-orchestrator/releases/latest/download/laconic-so
+$ chmod +x ./laconic-so
+$ export PATH=$PATH:$(pwd)  # Or move laconic-so to ~/bin or your favorite on-path directory
+```
+## 2. Prepare the local build environment
+Note that this step needs only to be done once on a new machine. 
+Detailed instructions can be found [here](../build-support/README.md). For the impatient run these commands:
+```
+$ laconic-so --stack build-support build-containers --exclude cerc/builder-gerbil
+$ laconic-so --stack package-registry setup-repositories
+$ laconic-so --stack package-registry deploy-system up
+```
+Then add the localhost alias `gitea.local` and set `CERC_NPM_AUTH_TOKEN` to the token printed when the package-registry stack was deployed above:
+```
+$ sudo vi /etc/hosts
+$ export CERC_NPM_AUTH_TOKEN=<my-token>
+```
+
+## 3. Clone required repositories
+```
+$ laconic-so --stack fixturenet-laconicd setup-repositories
+```
+## 4. Build the stack's packages and containers
+```
+$ laconic-so --stack fixturenet-laconicd build-npms
+$ laconic-so --stack fixturenet-laconicd build-containers
+```
+## 5. Deploy the stack
+```
+$ laconic-so --stack fixturenet-laconicd deploy up
+```
+Correct operation should be verified by checking the laconicd container's logs with:
+```
+$ laconic-so --stack fixturenet-laconicd deploy logs
+```
+## 6. Test with the Registry CLI
+```
+$ laconic-so --stack fixturenet-laconicd deploy exec cli "laconic cns status"
+```
