web3.eth.accounts returns only one object

Question

I'm new to crypto development and trying to follow a hello world tutorial here: https://github.com/alto-io/hello-crypto

I was able to install and launch truffle, execute the contract migrations, launch the test page and connect it to my Metamask account. The balance on my truffle development network reads 0. According to the tutorial, I should be able to send myself some ETH by doing the following in the truffle console:

 web3.eth.sendTransaction({web3.eth.accounts[0], to:web.eth.accounts[1], value: 10000})

but web3.eth.accounts is not even returning an array, it returns only one object. Any advice on how to send myself some test ETH in this tutorial would be appreciated.

Answer 1

That tutorial is 3 years old. Ethereum is changing very fast so the packages.

  const accounts = await web3.eth.getAccounts();
  const accountSender = accounts[0];
  const accountReceiver=accounts[1]
