Is there a live testnet which I can play around with?

You can play with a local one right now - Im putting together a quick screencast on how to run a Baby Fleming on your own box at home
EDIT : This will be for Linux - but very similar for Windows

The next one should be out this week. Maybe today or tomorrow depending on where you are located

This screencast will show me installing the safe cli , starting a local network and storing and retreiving a small directory
I need to play about with peek - Might try reducing the framerate -its only textā¦

Now with sound!!!
After failing to upload to Giphy, here is the raw output of peek from last night. If I get time Iāll redo this and hopefully be a bit smoother. An audio description would help.
This proves mostly that I have a LOT to learn about screencasting
Itās probably best to regard this as me practising in public to get semi-competent for the release of T5
The commands used were:
ps aux |grep safe
clear
rm -rf ~/.safe
ps aux |grep safe
curl -so- https://sn-api.s3.amazonaws.com/install.sh | bash
safe -V
safe node install
safe auth install
safe node run-baby-fleming
safe auth start
safe auth create --test-coins
safe auth unlock --self-auth
safe auth status

@dirvine @StephenC Will we need safe auth install for T5? I see authd got updatedā¦ I was under the impression that removing the need for authd was just a temporary simplification to get more engagement on the early testnets?
Super stuff Willie. In case you arenāt aware you can monitor all nodes in one command using vdash, and then move the display to show each one using back/forward arrows:
vdash ~/.safe/node/baby-fleming-nodes/sn-node-*/sn_node.log

Yes I had meant to ask you about that - That will be much ācleanerā when I redo this properly
Thank you

No, unless you want advanced uses like creating GUI etc

Quick note to anyone dabbling in testnets, baby-fleming etc
As well as clearing out existing files with rm -rf ~/.safe its a VERY good idea to check what safe processes you might have running from previous attempts
ps aux|grep safe
should show only the ps process itself - yes there is a way to do this so that doesnt show but its too complicate for me to remember - as long as you only see one line, you are fine. Likewise for sn_node and sn_authd (if applicable)
pkill -e safe
pkill -e sn_node
pkill sn_authd
followed by rm -rf ~/.safe should give you a clean environment to get started.

In another terminal type
tail -f ~/.safe/authd/logs/sn_authd.log
and try again from the start in the original terminal - remember to
pkill -e safe
pkill -e sn_node
pkill sn_authd
rm -rf ~/.safe
to ensure you have a clean environment, Paste the output from the sn_authd.log if you still have a problem.
