What is basic-network Sample Network?

basic-network is a Hyperledger Fabric network example included in the "Samples, Binaries and Docker Images" package.

The basic-network Sample Network provides scripts and configuration files to create a simple Hyperledger Fabric network with a single organization on your local host for learning purposes.

The basic-network sample network is also used by other sample tutorials like WYFA (Write Your First Application) tutorial.

## Basic Network Config

Note that this basic configuration uses pre-generated certificates and
key material, and also has predefined transactions to initialize a
channel named "mychannel".

To regenerate this material, simply run ``generate.sh``.

To start the network, run ``start.sh``.

To stop it, run ``stop.sh``

To completely remove all incriminating evidence of the network
on your system, run ``teardown.sh``.
