Ganache-cli mnemonic flag

Support
1

Hello,

I have been trying to create a local blockchain with the help of ganache-cli. For this I have already my mnemonic phrase, which I want to use for creating my wallets (Lets imagine I am using the following mnemonic: horn hammer original lemon chapter weird gun pond fortune blush cupboard cat).
So when I execute the following command:

npx ganache-cli --deterministic --mnemonic "horn hammer original lemon chapter weird gun pond fortune blush cupboard cat"

I get my wallets, which dont correspond with the wallets i had previously for this mnemonic phrase. I get the following in the ganache-cli result:

HD Wallet
==================
Mnemonic:      horn
Base HD Path:  m/44'/60'/0'/0/{account_index}

Apparently it registers only horn as the phrase. Can anybody help me and tell me how i have to write the input for the mnemonic flag so that I can let ganache-cli recognize the whole mnemonic phrase?

Hi @Krylli96,

You only need to specify --mnemonic

_From: https://github.com/trufflesuite/ganache-cli_

  • -m or --mnemonic : Use a bip39 mnemonic phrase for generating a PRNG seed, which is in turn used for hierarchical deterministic (HD) account generation.
  • -d or --deterministic : Generate deterministic addresses based on a pre-defined mnemonic.

When I run it (ganache-cli is one of the only things I have installed globally) it shows multiple addresses.

If you have issues with other wallets, then check that they are using the same derivation path m/44'/60'/0'/0/

Thank you very much or the quick answer :slight_smile:
Apparently it was also the npx that i put at the beginning, which messed up the process.
Now its working!

Hi @Krylli96,

I was also able to get it to work using:

$ npx ganache-cli --mnemonic "horn hammer original lemon chapter weird gun pond fortune blush cupboard cat"

These days I tend to only have ganache-cli installed globally, see: Installing packages locally rather than globally (npx).
