I used my existing local full node (https://github.com/bcoin-org/bcoin) and it's api and linked the library with npm link bcoin.
npm install - Install dependencies
npm link bcoin - Link global installed bcoin
npm run dev - Run dev envoirment
npm run test - Run automatic ava tests
(Note: My full node isn't completely downloaded yet, so it only shows 310722 blocks in the above animation.)
