Within the "/projects" directory, create a folder named "local_ethereum_blockchain". This folder will be used to store the blockchain data generated by your Ethereum nodes.

Next, you need to create the genesis block configuration file. The genesis block is the first block in the Ethereum blockchain and it contains important configuration settings for your network. This file should be created within the "local_ethereum_blockchain" folder.

Local Ethereum Network requires several prerequisites to set up. The first step is to install Geth, which is the Ethereum client software. For Windows users, the download link is available at https://ethereum.github.io/go-ethereum/downloads/.

After creating the genesis block config, the next step is to initialize an Ethereum node. This can be done by running a Geth command that specifies the genesis block configuration file and other necessary parameters. Once the node is initialized, you can start it by running another Geth command.

Once Geth is installed, the next step is to create a project directory. This can be named as per your preference, but for this guide, we will use "/projects". This directory will house all your Ethereum-related files and folders.
