Local deployment

If you want to run tipjar locally in your dfx environment, you will need GNU make, curl, and a working vessel installation too. For nix users, simply entering nix-shell is enough.

dfx start --background
make deploy

This will start a dfx replica, download necessary files, and deploy all canisters locally.
