Getting Started - Install¶




The Fabric application stack has five layers:



	Prerequisite software: the base layer needed to run the software, for example, Docker.

	Fabric and Fabric samples: the Fabric executables to run a Fabric network along with sample code.

	Contract APIs: to develop smart contracts executed on a Fabric Network.

	Application APIs: to develop your blockchain application.

	The Application: your blockchain application will utilize the Application SDKs to call smart contracts running on a Fabric network.
