What is BYFN (Build Your First Network)?

BYFN (Build Your First Network) is a tutorial provided in the Hyperledger Fabric "Samples, Binaries and Docker Images" package provided at http://bit.ly/2ysbOFE.

After installing the binary package, the BYFN tutorial is located at ~/hyperledger-binaries/fabric-samples/first-network directory.

You can play with BYFN with the shell script provided in this tutorial directory:

$ cd hyperledger-binaries/fabric-samples/first-network
 
$ ./byfn.sh -h

Usage:
  byfn.sh <mode> [-c <channel name>] [-t <timeout>] [-d <delay>] 
  [-f <docker-compose-file>] [-s <dbtype>] [-l <language>] 
  [-o <consensus-type>] [-i <imagetag>] [-v]
    <mode> - one of 'up', 'down', 'restart', 'generate' or 'upgrade'
      - 'up' - bring up the network with docker-compose up
      - 'down' - clear the network with docker-compose down
      - 'restart' - restart the network
      - 'generate' - generate required certificates and genesis block
      - 'upgrade'  - upgrade the network from version 1.3.x to 1.4.0
    -c <channel name> - channel name to use (defaults to "mychannel")
    -t <timeout> - CLI timeout duration in seconds (defaults to 10)
    -d <delay> - delay duration in seconds (defaults to 3)
    -f <docker-compose-file> - specify which docker-compose file use 
       (defaults to docker-compose-cli.yaml)
    -s <dbtype> - the database backend to use: goleveldb (default) or couchdb
    -l <language> - the chaincode language: golang (default) or node
    -o <consensus-type> - the consensus-type of the ordering service: solo 
       (default) or kafka
    -i <imagetag> - the tag to be used to launch the network (defaults to "latest")
    -v - verbose mode
