Run

Installing through pip will make the web3-gear command available on your machine (must run thor client first.):

web3-gear

This will run web3-gear on 127.0.0.1:8545.

You can change its default behavior with the following parameters:

`--host`	rpc service host, eg: `--host 127.0.0.1`
`--port`	rpc service port, eg: `--port 8545`
`--endpoint`	thor restful service endpoint, eg: `--endpoint http://127.0.0.1:8669`
`--keystore`	keystore file path, eg: `--keystore /Users/(username)/keystore)`, default=thor stand-alone(solo) built-in accounts
`--passcode`	passcode of keystore, eg: `--passcode xxxxxxxx`

Use Remix

Change the Remix environment to Web3 provide.

Use Truffle

Truffle 4.0.6+ support

Modify the configuration of truffle first(truffle.js):

module.exports = {
    networks: {
        development: {
            host: "localhost",
            port: 8545,
            network_id: "*" // Match any network id
        }
    }
};

Then you can use truffle's command line tool.

There are some projects based on truffle, can use them for testing:
