How to run a local Celestia dev network?

[claudioantonio]

I want to run a Celestia light node inside an isolated environment (RISC-V architecture and single core).
My team was already able to cross-compile the Celestia light node from source to RISC-V architecture and we was also able to run it, but the execution finishes abruptly because we also need a Celestia validator node or full consensus node so the Light node can load block headers and metadata.

I think we can try to also cross-compile one of the needed nodes by the light node, but according to docs, validator and full consensus nodes require multi-cpu hardware to run.

1. Is it really a general requirement or a recommendation for best performance when participating in the Celstia mainnet network? 😔
2. what is the simplest way to run a simple local Celestia dev network so I can run my light node as expected?
   2.1) would be https://github.com/celestiaorg/celestia-app/blob/main/local_devnet/README.md?
   2.2) Or https://github.com/rollkit/local-celestia-devnet?

Best regards!
