Local blockchain with Ganache

Ganache provides the GUI-based local Ethereum blockchain development environment to deploy and test contracts. Once installed on the machine, Ganache provides single-click, up-and-running blockchain deployment. This is especially built to reduce the dependency on Ethereum wallet software, which requires a lot of resources to run the local blockchain instance. Using Ganache, you can start the local blockchain within seconds, and it does not require heavy CPU/memory or disk resources.

Ganache does not require any faucet links, as these are only required for Ethereum test networks. As it's a local blockchain instance, it provides a number of pre-initialized accounts and each of the accounts has test ether balances. ...
