Truffle

Truffle is an accelerator that helps increase the speed of development, deployment and testing, and increases developer productivity. It is built specifically for Ethereum-based contract and application development. The latest Truffle version is 4. It is a node runtime-based framework that can help implement DevOps, continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment with ease.

Installing Truffle is quite simple— a prerequisite for installing Truffle is Node.js, as it is deployed as a node package.
