How to Setup Node.js for WYFA (Write Your First Application) Tests?

Before performing any Node.js SDK tests on the WYFA network, you need to setup the Node.js on your local host.

1. Make sure Node.js is installed:

$ node --version
v8.10.0

2. Install required packages:

$ cd hyperledger-binaries/fabric-samples

$ cd fabcar/javascript

$ sudo npm install

> pkcs11js@1.0.17 install /home/fyicenter/hyperledger-binaries/fabric-samples/fabcar/javascript/node_modules/pkcs11js
> node-gyp rebuild

gyp ERR! configure error
gyp ERR! stack Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir \
   '/home/fyicenter/hyperledger-binaries/fabric-samples/fabcar/javascript/node_modules/pkcs11js/build'
gyp ERR! System Linux 4.15.0-1037-azure
gyp ERR! command "/usr/bin/node" "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/bin/node-gyp.js" "rebuild"
gyp ERR! cwd /home/fyicenter/hyperledger-binaries/fabric-samples/fabcar/javascript/node_modules/pkcs11js
gyp ERR! node -v v8.10.0
gyp ERR! node-gyp -v v3.8.0
gyp ERR! not ok
npm WARN fabcar@1.0.0 No repository field.

Looks like there is a problem with the pkcs11js directory.

3. Create the failed directory manually and try it again:

$ sudo mkdir -p node_modules/pkcs11js/build

$ sudo npm install
...
gyp ERR! configure error
gyp ERR! stack Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir \
   '/home/fyicenter/hyperledger-binaries/fabric-samples/fabcar\
   /javascript/node_modules/fabric-client/node_modules/pkcs11js/build'

4. Create the failed directory manually and try it again:

$ sudo mkdir -p node_modules/fabric-client/node_modules/pkcs11js/build

$ sudo npm install
gyp ERR! configure error
gyp ERR! stack Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir \
   '/home/fyicenter/hyperledger-binaries/fabric-samples/fabcar\
   /javascript/node_modules/fabric-network/node_modules/pkcs11js/build'

5. Create the failed directory manually and try it again:

$ sudo mkdir -p node_modules/fabric-network/node_modules/pkcs11js/build

$ sudo npm install
gyp ERR! configure error
gyp ERR! stack Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir \
   '/home/fyicenter/hyperledger-binaries/fabric-samples/fabcar\
   /javascript/node_modules/fabric-network/node_modules/pkcs11js/build'

It failed again with the same directory. So "npm install" command just deleted the directory and not able to re-create it.

See next tutorial on how to resolve the issue.
