What it takes to get Hyperledger Fabric running on current Fedora.

According to this page, we need this as a starting point:

• cURL
• Node.js
• npm package manager
• Go
• Docker
• Docker Compose

With respect to Fedora, that means:

$ sudo dnf install curl
$ sudo dnf install nodejs
$ sudo dnf install npm
$ sudo dnf install golang
$ sudo dnf install docker-ce docker-compose

Note that, on Ubuntu, installing nodejs automatically installs npm whereas, on Fedora, you need to install npm explicitly. But we're not done. If you want to build the documentation (depending on the type of documentation), you'll need:

$ sudo dnf install python3-sphinx
$ sudo dnf install python3-recommonmark (what is this for?)
$ sudo dnf install latexmk (for "make latexpdf")
$ sudo dnf install python3-sphinx_rtd_theme (read the docs)

A little more obscure – if you want to build cryptogen, you'll need:

$ sudo dnf install libtool-ltdl-devel

If you want to use git review for submitting patches to Gerrit:

$ sudo dnf install git-review

• systemctl start docker
• Add yourself to the docker group (log out, log in again, run id to verify you're in that group)
• docker run hello-world

Under ~/go/src/github.com/hyperledger/, use ssh to copy over commit-msg hook and be able to push back to Gerrit:

[remote "origin"]
	url = ssh://rpjday@gerrit.hyperledger.org:29418/fabric-samples
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

• Add links to things like SOLO ordering service.
• Standardize on “—” em dashes.

Make sure platform-specific binaries are in the search path; unload them directly in fabric-samples directory.

$ cd first-network
$ ./byfn.sh generate

$ ./byfn.sh up
$ ./byfn.sh down
