The command you mentioned is for running the Ganache CLI (Command Line Interface) with a specified number of accounts.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

ganache-cli: It refers to the Ganache command-line tool. Ganache provides a local Ethereum blockchain environment that can be used for testing and development purposes. It allows you to simulate multiple accounts and provides various features like transaction tracing, mining control, and gas price customization.
--accounts=${number_of_accounts}: This is an option flag used with the ganache-cli command. By setting the value of ${number_of_accounts} to a specific number, you specify the total number of accounts to be created in the local Ganache blockchain. ${number_of_accounts} should be replaced with the actual desired number of accounts.

For example, if you run ganache-cli --accounts=10, it will start the Ganache blockchain with 10 accounts, each containing a predefined amount of ether for testing purposes.

By customizing the number of accounts, you can simulate different scenarios and test the behavior of your smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps).
