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

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
