End-to-end tests of Kava use a tool for generating networks with different configurations: [kvtool ](https://github.com/Kava-Labs/kvtool ).
This is included as a git submodule at [`tests/e2e/kvtool` ](tests/e2e/kvtool/ ).
When first cloning the repository, if you intend to run the e2e integration tests, you must also
clone the submodules:
```bash
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Kava-Labs/kava.git
```
Or, if you have already cloned the repo: `git submodule update --init`
