Hi there! Some context, I’m trying to get kitty-items up and running. In the process, I ran into this issue:

**Starting Wallet** - In the documentation, it says to `npm run dev:emulator` and then separately `flow dev-wallet`. It seems like the emulator starts up a wallet on its own though. And as such, when I run `flow dev-wallet` it fails because the port it taken. Should I stop what’s been run on `8701` and then startup a wallet on my own. Or should I use the wallet coming from emulator start?

Thanks!

Been playing with it and everything seems functional with the wallet that starts up wtih `npm run dev:emulator`. I suspect you can remove the extra step of running your own wallet from the documentation.
