Akash Console is an easy to use deployment tool for deploying workloads on to Akash Network providers. It is an alternative to the Command Line Interface (CLI). Akash Console can be run as a hosted service or locally (for development). Overclock Labs (creators of Akash Network) run an instance of Akash Console at https://console.akash.network/.

If you would like to contribute to Akash Console, here are some ways to do so:

1. Beta test the public facing app and report issues.
2. Run it locally (instructions below) to get acquainted with the application.
3. Review the list of issues at https://github.com/akash-network/console/issues and comment on one that you wish to work on.
4. Join the Akash Networks Clients SIG meetings to learn about other issues or features you can help build.

NOTE: If you need AKT for deployment, share your Keplr wallet ID in the comment for the specific issue and we'll drop you 10AKT to test with (should let you test deploys 100s of times)

Please ensure you have the below set of dependencies installed on your workstation:
