It simplifies the setup and management of local Casper test networks, enabling developers, validators, and evaluators to spin up and control multiple nodes for testing and development purposes.\n\n## Table of Contents\n\n- [Features](#features)\n- [Requirements](#requirements)\n- [Quick Start](#quick-start)\n- [Documentation](#documentation)\n- [Contributing](#contributing)\n- [License](#license)\n\n## Features\n\n- **Multi-node Network Setup** - Quickly spin up local networks with multiple validator nodes\n- **Network Control** - Start, stop, and manage network nodes with simple commands\n- **Test Automation** - Deploy contracts, submit transactions, and test scenarios locally\n- **Asset Management** - Manage accounts, keys, and network assets\n- **Chain Inspection** - View blocks, transactions, and network state\n\n## Requirements\n\n- **python3** + pip\n- **make**\n- **cargo** (Rust toolchain)\n- **bash**\n- **jq** (JSON parsing utility)\n\nPlus the requirements to build [casper-node](https://github.com/casper-network/casper-node#pre-requisites-for-building)\n\n## Quick Start\n\n### 1. Clone Required Repositories\n\n```bash\n# Clone nctl\ngit clone https://github.com/casper-network/casper-nctl.git\ncd casper-nctl\n\n# Clone dependencies (in the same parent directory)\ncd ..\ngit clone https://github.com/casper-network/casper-node.git\ngit clone https://github.com/casper-ecosystem/casper-client-rs.git\ngit clone https://github.com/casper-network/casper-node-launcher.git\ngit clone https://github.com/casper-network/casper-sidecar.git\n```\n\n### 2. Activate nctl\n\n```bash\ncd casper-nctl\nsource activate\n```\n\n### 3. Compile and Setup Network\n\n```bash\n# Compile network binaries\nnctl-compile\n\n# Setup network assets (creates a 5-node network)\nnctl-assets-setup\n\n# Start the network\nnctl-start\n```\n\n### 4. Verify Network Status\n\n```bash\n# View network status\nnctl-view-chain-state-root-hash\n\n# View node status\nnctl-view-node-status node=1\n```\n\n## Documentation\n\nFor detailed information, please refer to the following documentation:\n\n- **[Setup Guide](docs/setup.md)** - Complete installation and configuration instructions\n- **[Commands Reference](docs/commands.md)** - Full list of available nctl commands\n- **[Usage Guide](docs/usage.md)** - Detailed usage examples and workflows\n\n## Who Uses nctl?\n\nnctl is used by the CSPR network community, including:\n\n- **Developers** - Testing smart contracts and dApps locally\n- **Validators** - Testing node operations and network scenarios\n- **Evaluators** - Assessing network behavior and performance\n- **Contributors** - Developing and testing casper-node changes\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions are welcome!
