Instructions to run back-end

• Clone the repo to a folder, say back-end
• Install dependencies

cd back-end
npm install --save express cors morgan body-parse fabric-network

• Open a terminal window in back-end and start the server. The server will start at http://localhost:4000

node index.js

Important: The paths mentioned in createClient.js and fabricClient.js are machine specific and are such that the folder with the blockchain components is at the same directory level as this back-end folder.

 ├── fyp-backend/
 └── fyp-blockchain/

If your file structure is different, then the paths in the mentioned filed need to be modified accordingly. config.yaml uses absolute paths so those need to be changed regardless of the project file structure so that it matches the system it is running on
