Host Marbles Locally:

Run Marbles

Finally lets install marble's npm dependencies.

1. Open a command prompt/terminal and navigate to the marbles directory.

2. In the command prompt/terminal type:

    > npm install gulp -g
    > npm install
   

3. Next up, pick the command that matches your setup. This will run marbles.

• Option 1: 🍭 If you are using a local network use this command:

  gulp marbles_local

• Option 2: If you are using a IBM Cloud Blockchain network, use this command:

  gulp marbles_tls

1. If all goes well you should see this message in the console:

1. Go to your browser at the url specified in the console and login. You do not need to enter a password or change the prefilled username of admin.

1. Next the set up panel should pop up. Ideally it will walk itself through the 3 stages of initial setup.
   1. Enroll Admin - this step is communicating with your network's CA to verify the admin user credentials (enrollID/enrollSecret)
      • If it fails double check the enrollID and enrollSecret fields in your blockchain connection profile
   2. Finding Chaincode - this step is looking for the marbles chaincode on your peer. It is using the chaincode ID found in your blockchain connection profile. If this is a brand new network it will not exist yet.
      • If the chaincode was instantiated but it was unable to find it try the "Retry" button.
   3. Register Marble Owners - this step will create the marble owners you specified in the marbles configuration JSON file
      • This can take awhile 1-2minutes. Check your console logs for progress.

1. Once you see this message you are good to go:

1. Marbles is all setup! Now continue the tutorial.
