But wait! Steps 3 and 4 are quite manual. Instead, use [this
script](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/blob/develop/docs/examples/init_testnet.sh),
which does the heavy lifting for you. And it gets better.
But wait! Steps 3, 4 and 5 are quite manual. Instead, use the `tendermint
testnet` command. By default, running `tendermint testnet` will create all the
required files, but it won't populate the list of persistent peers. It will do
it however if you provide the `--populate-persistent-peers` flag and optional
`--starting-ip-address` flag. Run `tendermint testnet --help` for more details
on the available flags.
Instead of the previously linked script to initialize the files required
for a testnet, we have the `tendermint testnet` command. By default,
running `tendermint testnet` will create all the required files, just
like the script. Of course, you'll still need to manually edit some
fields in the `config.toml`. Alternatively, see the available flags to
auto-populate the `config.toml` with the fields that would otherwise be
passed in via flags when running `tendermint node`. As you might
imagine, this command is useful for manual or automated deployments.
```
tendermint testnet --populate-persistent-peers --starting-ip-address 192.168.0.1
```
This command will generate four folders, prefixed with "node" and put them into
the "./mytestnet" directory by default.
As you might imagine, this command is useful for manual or automated
deployments.
