How to Run Faucet on private network on Ethereum local node

Hi All,

We are struggling to run the Faucet on local private blockchain network and all the time we are not understanding to to execute the code mentioned in https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/master/cmd/faucet ?

Could please have any guideline or setup the docs for run the faucet on private blockchain network so that our developer can use test ether for development and integrations

@karalabe @holiman I know you are the most experience person to help such issues, could you please help for the same.

Hi There,

Sorry for the delay in response, I have read this document lots of time but still no clues how should I run the Faucet.

All the time getting an error when use Faucet --help as below

faucet --help
Usage : faucet (--in|--out|--err|--fd N)+ [--once] [--verb(|ose)] [--quiet] [--unix] [--foreignport ] [--foreignhost ] [--localhost ] [--daemon] [--serial] [--shutdown (r|w)] [--pidfile fname] [--noreuseaddr] [--backlog n] -[i][o][e][#3[,4[,5...]]][v][1][q][u][d][s] [-p ] [-h ] [-H ] command args

Is there any documents where I can see the command example for running it smoothly.

Many thanks in advance

@amaan-mohd That's some other binary on your system. Nothing to do with our code.

@amaan-mohd try which faucet, it should tell you what you're actually executing
