truffle: Download a pre-built Truffle project (Truffle Box).
$ truffle unbox ${box_name}
try on your machine

The truffle unbox ${box_name} command is used in the Truffle framework for blockchain development.

Truffle provides a feature called "boxes" which are pre-built project templates or boilerplates that help developers quickly start building smart contracts and decentralized applications (DApps). These boxes save time by including essential files, configurations, and dependencies required for a specific use case or framework.

The unbox command is used to extract and install a specific box/template chosen by the developer. ${box_name} in the command refers to the name of the box or template you want to install.

For example, to unbox the "react" box, the command would be:

truffle unbox react

This command will create a new project directory and install all the necessary files and dependencies from the specified box. After executing this command, you would have a ready-to-use project with the provided box/template, enabling you to start coding and deploying smart contracts or building DApps quickly.
