The Hyperledger Fabric Install Guide

Environment

Ubuntu 16.04 AWS instance.

Install Fabric 1.0

Please go through the documents first to get a better understanding:

• https://domsteil.com/2017/04/22/how-to-setup-hyperledger-fabric-v1-0-on-aws/

• https://wiki.hyperledger.org/groups/twgc/fabric-doc/getting_started.md

The command sequence to install Hyperledger Fabric v1.0.0-beta:

$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt install libtool libltdl-dev git

$ cd $GOPATH

$ mkdir src

$ cd src

$ mkdir github.com

$ cd github.com

$ mkdir hyperledger

$ cd hyperledger

Download and compile Hyperledger Fabric. You may need to install make by $ sudo apt-get install make in prior to compile the source:

$ git clone https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric.git

$ cd fabric

$ make configtxgen

At the end of make, you can see:

binary available as build/bin/configtxgen``

Subsequently, you can download all docker images by e2e_cli example:

cd examples

cd e2e_cli

chmod +x download-dockerimages.sh

./download-dockerimages.sh

There are the images:

$ docker images
