     1  Hyperledger Fabric Client (HFC) SDK for Node.js
     2  -----------------------------------------------
     3  
     4  The Hyperledger Fabric Client (HFC) SDK provides a powerful and easy to
     5  use API to interact with a Hyperledger Fabric blockchain.
     6  
     7  This document assumes that you already have set up a Node.js development
     8  environment. If not, go
     9  `here <https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/>`__ to download
    10  and install Node.js for your OS. You'll also want the latest version of
    11  ``npm`` installed. For that, execute ``sudo npm install npm -g`` to get
    12  the latest version.
    13  
    14  Installing the hfc module
    15  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    16  
    17  We publish the ``hfc`` node module to ``npm``. To install ``hfc`` from
    18  npm simply execute the following command:
    19  
    20  ::
    21  
    22      npm install -g hfc
    23  
    24  See `Hyperledger fabric Node.js client
    25  SDK <http://fabric-sdk-node.readthedocs.io/en/latest/node-sdk-guide>`__
    26  for more information.
    27  
    28  Hyperledger fabric network
    29  --------------------------
    30  
    31  First, you'll want to have a running peer node and member services. The
    32  instructions for setting up a network are `here <Network-setup.md>`__.
    33  You may also use the
    34  `Fabric-starter-kit <../starter/fabric-starter-kit.md>`__ that provides
    35  the network.
