+# Local Node Deployment
+
+**Description**: This tutorial demonstrates how to deploy and run a local AElf node using Docker for testing and development purposes.
+
+**Purpose**: Shows you how to set up your own local AElf blockchain node for development and testing.
+
+**Difficulty Level**: Easy

+
+## Step 1 - Setting up your development environment
+
+### Prerequisites
+- Install [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)
+- Ensure you have at least 4GB of available RAM and 10GB of storage space
+- **Note for Apple Silicon users:**
+Ensure that Rosetta is installed, if it is not, use the following command:
+    ```bash
+    softwareupdate --install-rosetta
+    ```
+- Install aelf deploy tool
+    ```bash
+    dotnet tool install --global aelf.deploy
+    ```
+    aelf.deploy is a utility tool for deploying smart contracts on the aelf blockchain. Please remember to export PATH after installing aelf.deploy.
+    
+:::info
+ℹ️ Note: If you have installed aelf.deploy and your terminal says that there is no such command available, please uninstall and install aelf.deploy.
+:::
+
+- Install aelf-command
+<Tabs>
+<TabItem value="Linux and macOs" label="Linux and macOs" default>
+```bash title="Terminal"
+sudo npm i -g aelf-command
+```
+</TabItem>
+
+<TabItem value="Windows" label="Windows">
+```bash title="Command Prompt"
+npm i -g aelf-command
+```
+</TabItem>
+</Tabs>
+
+aelf-command is a CLI tool for interacting with the aelf blockchain, enabling tasks like creating wallets and managing transactions.
+Provide required permissions while installing aelf-command globally.
+
+## Step 2 - Building the Docker Image
+
+### Clone the AElf Developer Tools Repository
+Clone the AElf developer tools repository and navigate into the directory:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/AElfProject/aelf-developer-tools.git
+cd aelf-developer-tools/local-test-node
+docker build -t aelf/standalone-testing-node .
+```
+
+This will create a Docker image based on the AElf testnet node and include all necessary contract packages.
+
+## Step 3 - Running the Node
+
+Launch the node using Docker with the following command:
+
+```bash
+docker run --name aelf-node --restart always \
+    -e NODE_ACCOUNT="W1ptWN5n5mfdVvh3khTRm9KMJCAUdge9txNyVtyvZaYRYcqc1" \
+    -e NODE_ACCOUNT_PASSWORD="admin123" \
+    -itd -p 6801:6801 -p 8000:8000 -p 5001:5001 -p 5011:5011 \
+    --platform linux/amd64 \
+    --ulimit core=-1 \
+    --security-opt seccomp=unconfined --privileged=true \
+    aelf/standalone-testing-node
+```
+
+This command:
+- Creates a container named `aelf-node`
+- Exposes necessary ports for node operation and API access
+- Configures appropriate system settings for the node
+- Runs the container in detached mode
+
+### Port Mappings
+- 6801: P2P network communication
+- 8000: HTTP API endpoint
+- 5001: gRPC endpoint
+- 5011: Additional services
+
+## Step 4 - Loading the Node Account
+
+The node comes with a pre-configured account. Load it using aelf-command:
+
+```bash
+aelf-command load 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
+```
+
+## Step 5 - Verifying Node Operation
+
+1. Check if the node is running:
+```bash
+docker ps
+```
+
+2. View node logs:
+```bash
+docker logs aelf-node
+```
+
+3. Test the HTTP API:
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8000/api/blockChain/chainStatus
+```
+
+## Step 6 - Deploying Your Smart Contract
+
+After building your smart contract DLL, you can deploy it locally using the following command:
+
+```bash
+aelf-deploy -a $WALLET_ADDRESS -p $WALLET_PASSWORD -c $CONTRACT_PATH -e http://localhost:8000/
+```
+
+Make sure to replace `$WALLET_ADDRESS`, `$WALLET_PASSWORD`, and `$CONTRACT_PATH` with your actual wallet address, wallet password, and the path to your compiled contract DLL, respectively.
+
+For more detailed information on creating and deploying smart contracts, refer to the [Hello World Contract tutorial](https://docs.aelf.com/quick-start/developers/hello-world-contract/).
+
+
+## Configuration Details
+
+The node uses several configuration files:
+
+1. **appsettings.json**: Main configuration file containing:
+   - Network settings
+   - Consensus parameters
+   - Database configurations
+   - Logging settings
+
+2. **appsettings.LocalTestNode.json**: Local environment specific settings
+   - Logging levels
+   - Database connections
+
+3. **appsettings.MainChain.MainNet.json**: Chain-specific configurations
+   - Economic parameters
+   - Token settings
+   - Cross-chain settings
+
+:::tip
+ℹ️ Note: For development purposes, the node uses in-memory databases by default. For production environments, you should configure persistent storage.

+
+## Common Issues and Solutions
+
+1. **Docker Permission Issues**
+```bash
+# Add your user to the docker group
+sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
+# Then log out and back in
+```
+
+2. **Port Conflicts**
+```bash
+# Check if ports are in use
+netstat -tulpn | grep -E '6801|8000|5001|5011'
+# Stop conflicting services or modify port mappings
+```
+
+3. **Container Not Starting**
+```bash
+# Check detailed logs
+docker logs aelf-node
+# Remove and recreate container if needed
+docker rm -f aelf-node
+```
+
+:::tip
+ℹ️ Remember to wait a few minutes after starting the node for it to fully initialize and begin producing blocks.
