I'm going through the Hyperledger Fabric documentation at
https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/release-1.2/prereqs.html
and I've noticed that in the section "Getting Started" you start of with the prerequisites. So basically, installing all the dependencies for using fabric.
However, Fabric is not installed in the prerequisites section, but yet, in the Go Programming Language-part of that same section, it is mentioned that
First, you must set the environment variable GOPATH to point at the Go workspace containing the downloaded Fabric code base, with something like:
But there is no downloaded Fabric code base at that point.
What am I supposed to do? What is the value of GOPATH supposed to be?
As of this step, there is no fabric code base install or downloaded. It is a folder structure recommendation. In the very next step, you will be guided to download the fabric binaries, sample, and docker images. I would suggest you to jump here for quick setup of the fabric.
