Setting up the Hyperledger Fabric network

For this project, we'll be working with the Hyperledger Fabric samples provided in the Hyperledger Fabric GitHub repository.

You need to have Docker and Docker Compose installed to carry out the setup. To install all the dependencies, go to https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/release-1.4/install.html and follow the instructions.

After downloading and installing the dependencies, we need to download and install the binaries, samples, and Docker images for Hyperledger Fabric. To do this, we'll be using curl to download the images from the Fabric repository, as follows:

curl -sSL http://bit.ly/2ysbOFE | bash -s 1.4.0

This will take up to 15 minutes to complete, depending on your network connectivity. Once this is complete, move on to the next step.
