 ```bash
 dfx deploy issuer

 This will deploy also `internet_identity`, and provision the issuer for the testing environment.

-# Build the archive canister

-# Run the tests
-cargo test -p internet_identity
+```bash

 _NOTE: you can also run the tests with `cargo test -p internet_identity --release` which takes much longer to build, but the tests are then orders of magnitude faster._
