# Localnet

## Run a local Clockwork node

To deploy Clockwork on your machine for local development, you must first [**install the CLI**](/welcome/installation.md). When this is done, you can launch a local Clockwork instance with the following command:

```bash
clockwork localnet
```

## Deploy your program

To deploy your own programs to the localnet, you can use either the Anchor CLI, Clockwork CLI, or Solana CLI. As a shortcut, the Clockwork CLI provides a `--bpf-program` flag for deploying the localnet with a pre-built program binary. 

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Anchor" %}

```sh
anchor deploy
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Clockwork" %}

```sh
clockwork localnet \
    --bpf-program <ADDRESS_OR_KEYPAIR> <PROGRAM_FILEPATH>
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Solana" %}

```bash
solana program deploy \ 
    --program-id <ADDRESS_OR_KEYPAIR> <PROGRAM_FILEPATH>
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

The Clockwork localnet additionally works out of the box with your Anchor tests. To run Anchor tests with the localnet, use the following command:

```sh
anchor test --skip-local-validator
```

## Stream logs

To stream logs from your localnet, you can use the Solana CLI.

```bash
solana logs --url l
```
