Need to install Ganache?

[cymatic9]

At around 7:02:35 in the video, Patrick shows using a Ganache RPC endpoint and a few moments later, using one of the Ganache wallet addresses and private keys, however I never saw anywhere that we installed or configured Ganache.

Do we need to install and configure Ganache on our own by this point in the video, or will that be covered later in the video?

Hello @cymatic9
The reason is because Hardhat comes with its own server for running a fake blockchain so you don't need to do any further configuration, so that's why.

Cheers.

That's great...I'm just starting Lesson 6 "Hardhat Simple Storage" so I guess all the Hardhat stuff is about to fall into place for me!

Thank you!
