• getSigners: Retrieves the list of accounts provided by the Ethereum node, with the first account used as the deployer.
• getContractFactory: Gets the contract to deploy.
• deploy: Deploys the contract with the specified parameters (name, symbol, and initial supply).
• parseUnits: Converts the initial supply to the correct units, considering the token’s decimals.
