Lesson 3: Agent¶
By the end of this lesson, you'll be able to set up a Hyperledger Cello agent on your computer.
Note
Remember: You can totally follow this lesson on a different machine from where you follow the last lesson i.e. The agents can be on a different machine from the server.

Image¶
Agent¶
First, we have to build the image of the agent by running
make docker-rest-agent
The image will be tagged as hyperledger/cello-agent-docker:latest.
Start the Agent¶
Next, start the agent by running
make agent
Tip
By doing so, you deploy the agent with a pre-written docker compose file bootup/docker-compose-files/docker-compose.agent.dev.yml Nevertheless, You can actually deploy the agent however you like if you want to write your own docker compose file with your own configurations. It's all up to you!
If nothing goes wrong, you should see a container named cello-docker-agent running on your computer by executing
docker ps
Conclustion¶
That's it! You have successfully run a Hyperledger Cello agent on your computer🎉.
In the next lesson, we'll talk about how you can create an organization and its first administrator.
See you thenđź‘‹!
P.S. The "Quickstart" Way
Just as mentioned in the last lesson, alternatively, you can run
make local
to set up a Hyperledger Cello server and agent in the same place as quick as possible.
However, in order to give you a deeper understanding of how everything works, we instead walked through the entire setup step-by-step in this tutorial.
