# Act 1: Local project setup

> Set up the scaffold-eth project locally, install the Tenderly CLI, and point Hardhat at your Virtual Environment RPC for the staging workshop.

<small>Estimated time: <b>10 min</b></small>

In this act, you'll configure the project locally.

## Prerequisites

<Steps>
  ### Clone

  Go to this github repo and:

  * Create a project from [this Github template](https://github.com/new?template_name=scaffold-eth-2\&template_owner=nvitorovic) in Github (needed for testing out the CI).

  * Clone your fork:

  ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"catppuccin-latte","dark":"catppuccin-mocha"}}
  git clone YOUR REPO URL
  yarn
  ```

  ### Libraries

  * Node.js (`v 19+`)
  * [Tenderly account](https://dashboard.tenderly.co/login)
  * Install [Tenderly CLI](https://github.com/Tenderly/tenderly-cli?tab=readme-ov-file#installation)
  * Run `tenderly login` and follow the instructions.
</Steps>

## Configure Tenderly

<Steps>
  ### Copy the Virtual Environment RPC

  * Copy the network parameters snippet from Tenderly Dashboard **Virtual Environments > Integrate**
  * Edit `packages/tenderly/tenderly.config.ts` and paste the copied object to `virtualNetworks.virtual_mainnet`
    entry.

      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/tenderly/UJYgjMAoAVw9cx48/images/workshops/virtual-environments/integration-snippet.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=UJYgjMAoAVw9cx48&q=85&s=ff21cbaceaff42fb2829865c2ea98ad4" alt="/assets/workshops/virtual-environments/integration-snippet.png" width="3680" height="2382" data-path="images/workshops/virtual-environments/integration-snippet.png" />

  The file should look similar to this:

  ```ts showLineNumbers lines={10} theme={"theme":{"light":"catppuccin-latte","dark":"catppuccin-mocha"}}
  type NetworkConfig = {
    url: string,
    chainId: number,
    currency: string
  }
  export const virtualNetworks: {
    [networkName: string]: NetworkConfig;
  } = {
    // KEEP virtual_mainnet as the network name
    "virtual_mainnet": {
      "url": "https://virtual.mainnet.rpc.tenderly.co/bdb874b8-678b-401b-af93-8b0f8a55e9cd",
      "chainId": 73571,
      "currency": "VIRT"
    }
  };
  ```
</Steps>
