I am following the tutorial on writing your first application to make a sample hyperledger fabric application. I am using Ubuntu 16.04 and I have installed prerequisites as well as binaries and docker images. When I move into fabric-samples/fabcar, after npm install. I run:

./startFabric.sh

I get the following error:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml down.

./start.sh: line 13: docker-compose: command not found.

I looked into ./startFabric.sh by nano. Line 13 is as follows:

starttime=$(date +%s)
LANGUAGE=${1:-"golang"}

This is a screen shot of the error I get:

./starFabric.sh and ./startFabric.sh node are not starting my fabric

It may be irrelevant, but I have also issues running .byfn -m up as I have posted on issue with byfn. I am not sure if these two are related. But obviously neither can I start fabric, nor can I build a network.

I appreciate any help to solve the issue.

Thank you for your attention.

You should install docker. If you already installed docker, you should check if your docker bin folder is referenced in your PATH environment variable.

  • I have already installed docker and docker compose, just like as mentioned in prerequisites. Can you mention how I can check if it is added to the path? After it is installed isn't added to the path automatically? – E. Erfan Apr 26 '18 at 13:02
  • I'm not an experimented ubuntu user, so I'm not sure it works but you should update your .bashrc in your home directory by adding the line: export PATH="/path/to/dir:$PATH". the path/to/dir is the "bin" path of your docker installation. – Philippe Labalette Apr 26 '18 at 15:21

    The problem was with docker-composer nopt being added to the path. After uninstalling, and a new clean isntallation it worked. – E. Erfan May 06 '18 at 15:23
