Configure Blockchain on Windows

Configuring Windows for Hyperledger

Updated: 03 September 2023

Script

Before running the below script, ensure that you are in Administrator Powershell and that your Execution Policy is set to Remote Signed, if not then first run the following command

1
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

Then run the script below

1
cd ~
2
choco install python2 docker-desktop docker-compose golang nodejs git -y
3
npm install --global windows-build-tools
4
npm install --global grpc
5
mkdir .\go\src\github.com\hyperledger
6
cd go\src\github.com\hyperledger
7
git clone https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric.git

This will install the necessary prerequisites and should also set up the environment variables as well as the Go Workspace, but you may need to verify that the below steps were completed correctly

(Don’t know how accurate this script is as it may not necessarily work, but the instructions are as follows)
