Step 2: Repository Setup

This guide covers cloning the PM3 fork of Hyperledger Bevel and setting up the build directory structure.

Configure Git​

First, ensure your Git configuration is set up:

# Configure your Git identity
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "your-email@example.com"

Clone Bevel Repository​

Clone the PM3 fork of Hyperledger Bevel and set up a local branch for deployment.

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/Fraktal-PM3/bevel-fixes.git
cd bevel-fixes

# Get the latest code from main branch
git checkout main
git pull

# Create a local deployment branch
git checkout -b local

# Push the local branch to remote
git push --set-upstream origin local
Why Use a Local Branch?

Using a separate local branch allows you to:

  • Keep your deployment configurations separate from the main branch
  • Easily reset or update your deployment configuration

Create Build Directory Structure​

Create the build directory inside the cloned repository. This directory will contain all configuration files:

# Make sure you're in the bevel-fixes repository directory
cd ~/bevel-fixes

# Create the build directory
mkdir -p build
cd build

Copy Minikube Certificates​

Copy the required Kubernetes certificates to the build directory:

cp ~/.minikube/ca.crt .
cp ~/.minikube/profiles/minikube/client.key .
cp ~/.minikube/profiles/minikube/client.crt .

Copy Kubernetes Config​

cp ~/.kube/config .

Verify Files​

Check that all required files are in the build directory:

ls -la ~/bevel-fixes/build/

You should see:

  • ca.crt
  • client.key
  • client.crt
  • config

Directory Structure​

After this step, your directory structure should look like:

~/bevel-fixes/
├── build/
│   ├── ca.crt
│   ├── client.crt
│   ├── client.key
│   └── config
├── platforms/
│   ├── hyperledger-fabric/
│   ├── firefly/
│   └── shared/
├── run.sh
├── create-channels.sh
├── install-chaincode.sh
├── deploy-firefly.sh
└── reset.sh

Next Steps​

Now that the repository is set up, proceed to Configuration to create and customize your deployment configuration files.
