Getting tokens in a private Iota testnet

Question

I am trying to deploy my own IOTA testnet using iri and the API but I am unable to get any balance in my accounts. How can I configure the testnet to have some tokens at start?

You can find a good tutorial for deploying an own IOTA testnet with account balances here:

https://github.com/schierlm/private-iota-testnet

In short:

First, a snapshot is created that contains accounts equipped with IOTA tokens.
The next step is to start iri using the snapshot you just created (although iri needs to be slightly modified)

I tried this tutorial but I wasn´t able to get any tokens either, but I´ll try again. Thanks! – Santiago de Diego Feb 07 '18 at 15:35
