 For local development it is recommended to use [ganache-cli](https://github.com/trufflesuite/ganache-cli) (or the [ganache GUI](http://truffleframework.com/ganache/) to run a local development chain.  
 Using the ganache simulator no full Ethereum node is required.

 Run your ganache simulator before using Kredits locally:
 
-    $ ganache-cli -p 7545
+    $ npm run ganache (which is: ganache-cli -p 7545 -i 100 --db=./.ganache-db -m kredits)
