Update set-up-your-environment.md
Truffle (and Ganache) were sunset on Feb 26, 2024 and the recommendation is to migrate to Hardhat (https://consensys.io/blog/consensys-announces-the-sunset-of-truffle-and-ganache-and-new-hardhat).  

From the Brownie docs and README:  Brownie is no longer actively maintained. Future releases may come sporadically - or never at all. Check out Ape Framework for all your python Ethereum development needs.  (https://eth-brownie.readthedocs.io/en/stable/).

I cannot vouch for Ape Framework as I've never used it, simply going with the recommendation given by the Brownie devs.

Setting up your development environment for IoTeX involves choosing the right Web3 tools and frameworks to streamline your workflow. 

Popular options include [Hardhat](https://hardhat.org/), [Truffle](https://www.trufflesuite.com/), and [Brownie](https://eth-brownie.readthedocs.io/en/stable/). These frameworks offer robust Dapp testing, deployment, and debugging capabilities. Once you are ready to deploy your smart contracts to the testnet or mainnet, you simply need to change the RPC endpoint in your tools configuration.
