Install pre-requisites on Ubuntu 16.

04 LTS

https://medium.com/@eSizeDave/https-medium-com-esizedave-how-to-install-hyperledger-fabric-1-2-
on-ubuntu-16-04-lts-ecdfa4dcec72

NOTE: I am using a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Update the package index

sudo apt-get update

Install curl and packages to setup Docker repository for the usual Docker
install method

See https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-
ce/ubuntu/#install-docker-ce for more details on this… if you
really want to.

sudo apt-get install curl apt-transport-https ca-certificates software-

properties-common

Add Docker gpg key

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -

Verify the gpg key

sudo apt-key fingerprint 0EBFCD88

Add Docker repository

sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64]
https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"

Update the package index again

sudo apt-get update

Install the latest stable version of Docker
Note: Hyperledger requires 17.06.2-ce or newer

sudo apt-get install docker-ce

Check Docker version to ensure it’s installed

docker --version

 docker –version
 Docker version 18.09.3, build 774a1f4

Download Docker Compose
sudo curl -L
 https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.21.2/docker-compose-$
(uname -s)-$(uname -m) -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

*** THIS DID NOT WORK, I had to install and then use pip instead

sudo apt install python3-pip

pip3 --version

sudo pip3 install docker-compose

Apply executable permission to the Docker Compose binary

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Check Docker Compose version to ensure it’s installed

docker-compose --version

 docker-compose –version
 docker-compose version 1.23.2, build 1110ad0

Download and setup Go programming language

Note: Check for the latest stable release on https://golang.org/dl/ and edit the *.tar.gz bit
accordingly on the commands below
curl -O https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.10.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz
sha256sum go1.10.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Untar and unzip the file:

tar -xvf go1.10.3.linux-amd64.tar.gz

Move the go software to local

sudo mv go /usr/local

Open profile to setup Go related paths for the user profile

sudo vi ~/.profile

Add following lines to ~/.profile file

export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$GOPATH/bin

Reload the profile file

source ~/.profile

Verify with echo $PATH

Install Node.js

Note: Here we install required Ubuntu packages and build Node.js

from source since Hyperledger 1.2 only supports Node.js versions
8.9+ but < 9

Update the package index again and install necessary Ubuntu packages
for Node.js

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install build-essential openssl libssl-dev pkg-config

Go to the src directory, create a node directory, and go into it

cd /usr/local/src
sudo mkdir node
cd node

pwd

dbpract@silver0:/usr/local/src/node$

Download Node.js

Note: Here we download version 8.9.3 due to limitations of

Hyperledger 1.2
sudo wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v8.9.3/node-v8.9.3.tar.gz
Extract the tar file and go into the newly created node-v8.9.3 directory, configure
the directory, run make, and make install
Note: This could (and probably will) take a little while since we’re building from source

sudo tar zxvf node-v8.9.3.tar.gz

cd node-v8.9.3
sudo ./configure

--- this make command will take a long time to run -- wow
sudo make
sudo make install

Be warned. The sudo make command above for node.js took more than 45 minutes to run.
Check Node.js versions to ensure it’s installed
node --version

Upgrade NPM version
(as per instructions on http://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/release-
1.2/prereqs.html and check it’s correct)

sudo npm install npm@5.6.0 -g

sudo npm –version

5.6.0

Python 2.7x
Python 2.7.12 should already be installed on a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, but just in case,
install Python (ensure we’re only using version 2.7x and not Python 3)

 -- skip this since python is installed: sudo apt-get install python

 python --version

Python 2.7.12
You can create a hyperledger directory in /usr/local/ and go into it to run the following
commands which create a fabric-samples directory and installs them there

cd /usr/local
sudo mkdir hyperledger
cd hyperledger

--- This works as shown below

curl -sSL http://bit.ly/2ysbOFE | sudo bash -s 1.2.0

-------------------------------------------------- Results from the command above

dbpract@silver0:/usr/local/hyperledger$ curl -sSL http://bit.ly/2ysbOFE | sudo bash -s 1.2.0

At this point we will verify that the fabric-samples has something in it. Change directory into
the directory and use the ls to list the files and directories.

Edit the profile and add in the export path shown below.

sudo vi ~/.profile

export PATH=/usr/local/hyperledger/fabric-samples/bin:$PATH

Reload the profile file
