     1  Getting Started

     8     prereqs
     9     install
    10     test_network
    11  
    12  Before we begin, if you haven't already done so, you may wish to check that
    13  you have all the :doc:`prereqs` installed on the platform(s)
    14  on which you'll be developing blockchain applications and/or operating
    15  Hyperledger Fabric.
    16  
    17  Once you have the prerequisites installed, you are ready to download and
    18  install HyperLedger Fabric. While we work on developing real installers for the
    19  Fabric binaries, we provide a script that will :doc:`install` to your system.
    20  The script also will download the Docker images to your local registry.
    21  
    22  After you have downloaded the Fabric Samples and Docker images to your local
    23  machine, you can get started working with Fabric with the
    24  :doc:`test_network` tutorial.

    26  Hyperledger Fabric smart contract (chaincode) APIs
    27  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    28  
    29  Hyperledger Fabric offers a number of APIs to support developing smart contracts (chaincode)
    30  in various programming languages. Smart contract APIs are available for Go, Node.js, and Java:
    31  
    32    * `Go contract-api <https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric-contract-api-go>`__.
    33    * `Node.js contract API <https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric-chaincode-node>`__ and `Node.js contract API documentation <https://hyperledger.github.io/fabric-chaincode-node/>`__.
    34    * `Java contract API <https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric-chaincode-java>`__ and `Java contract API documentation <https://hyperledger.github.io/fabric-chaincode-java/>`__.
    35  
    36  Hyperledger Fabric application SDKs
    37  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    38  
    39  Hyperledger Fabric offers a number of SDKs to support developing applications in various programming languages. SDKs are available for Node.js and Java:
    40  
    41    * `Node.js SDK <https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric-sdk-node>`__ and `Node.js SDK documentation <https://hyperledger.github.io/fabric-sdk-node/>`__.
    42    * `Java SDK <https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric-gateway-java>`__ and `Java SDK documentation <https://hyperledger.github.io/fabric-gateway-java/>`__.
    43  
    44    Prerequisites for developing with the SDKs can be found in the Node.js SDK `README <https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric-sdk-node#build-and-test>`__ and Java SDK `README <https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric-gateway-java/blob/master/README.md>`__.
    45  
    46  In addition, there are two more application SDKs that have not yet been officially released
    47  (for Python and Go), but they are still available for downloading and testing:
    48  
    49    * `Python SDK <https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric-sdk-py>`__.
    50    * `Go SDK <https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric-sdk-go>`__.
    51  
    52  Currently, Node.js and Java support the new application programming model delivered in Hyperledger Fabric v1.4. Support for Go is planned to be delivered in a later release.
    53  
    54  Hyperledger Fabric CA
    55  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    56  
    57  Hyperledger Fabric provides an optional
    58  `certificate authority service <http://hyperledger-fabric-ca.readthedocs.io/en/latest>`_
    59  that you may choose to use to generate the certificates and key material
    60  to configure and manage identity in your blockchain network. However, any CA
    61  that can generate ECDSA certificates may be used.
