In the previous section, we saw how easy it's to work with Hyperledger Composer using Playground. Now we'll install Composer in your own (local) machine.
We'll start with the three most important stages of installing a blockchain network:
- Installing the prerequisites
- Installing Hyperledger Composer (the development environment)
- Updating the environment
We can install the blockchain network using Hyperledger Fabric by many means, including local servers, Kubernetes,IBM Cloud, and Docker. To begin with, we'll explore Docker and Kubernetes.
Docker can be installed using information provided on https://www.docker.com/get-started.
Hyperledger Composer works with two versions of Docker:
- Docker Composer version 1.8 or higher
- Docker Engine version 17.03 or higher
If you already have Docker installed but you're not sure about the version, you can find out what the version is by using the following command in the...
