"composer network install" Errors

Q

Why am I getting errors when running the "composer network install" command?

A

There are couple of reasons why you are getting errors when running the "composer network install" command to deploy business network BNA files.

Error Example 1 -

$ cd tutorial-network

$ composer network install --card PeerAdmin@hlfv1 \
   --archiveFile tutorial-network@0.0.1.bna

✖ Installing business network. This may take a minute...
Error: Card not found: PeerAdmin@hlfv1
Command failed

The command failed because you need the Hyperledger Peer Admin Card to deploy a new network. If you are using a new Hyperledger Fabric environment, you can generate an Admin Card using the fabric script:

$ ../fabric-dev-servers/createPeerAdminCard.sh

...
The following Business Network Cards are available:
Connection Profile: hlfv1
┌─────────────────┬───────────┬──────────────────┐
│ Card Name       │ UserId    │ Business Network │
├─────────────────┼───────────┼──────────────────┤
│ PeerAdmin@hlfv1 │ PeerAdmin │                  │
└─────────────────┴───────────┴──────────────────┘

Error Example 2 -

$ cd tutorial-network

$ composer network install --card PeerAdmin@hlfv1 \
   --archiveFile tutorial-network@0.0.1.bna

Error: Error trying install business network. 
Error: No valid responses from any peers.
Response from attempted peer comms was an error: Error: 14 UNAVAILABLE: EOF

The command failed again. May be your local Hyperledger Fabric dev environment has been stopped. You need to start it again:

$ ../fabric-dev-servers/startFabric.sh
