Hyperledger composer install is not installing business network

I am using Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS as VM, and composer v0.19.1. I have installed all the prerequisites as well as hyperledger composer and fabric by folowing the documents at hyperledger composer playgroung. I have followed the tutorial line by line to make a business network. When I want to install the business network by the following command:

composer network install --card PeerAdmin@hlfv1 --archiveFile [email protected]

It gives me the following error:

No connection type provided, probably because the connection profile has no 'x-type' property defined.

The screen shot of the error is provided as well.

enter image description here

I have checked and made sure that PeerAdminCard exists by 

composer card list

And of course Fabric is started. I highly appreciate if someone mentions what I am doing wrong. Thank you.

I was getting exactly the same error as you. Turns out if you update the Composer from version 0.16 or earlier, the card store still has the old PeerAdmin card which is now not compatible with version 0.19. Even deleting the card using composer card delete --card <CARD_NAME_HERE> doesn't work. The quick and dirty solution is to manually delete the card store. It is normally in ${HOME}/.composer, so to deleting this directory should work.

rm -fr ${HOME}/.composer

For your other problems, the easiest solution is to replace your older version of Hyperledger and do a new install from scratch. That means removing composer as well as killing and removing all previous Docker containers:

docker kill $(docker ps -q)
docker rm $(docker ps -aq)
docker rmi $(docker images dev-* -q)

Basically start from a clean slate if you can!

The 2nd problem you are having is with the createPeerAdminCard.sh script - you are using an 'old' version of the where the default is Fabric v1.0.

The default is assuming hlfv1 because the environment variable FABRIC_VERSION is not set. So the createPeerAdminCard.sh script assumes you want a hlfv1 card and creates the files, but Composer v0.19 can't import that old card at the end of the script.

The fast solution is to export FABRIC_VERSION="hlfv11" then run the createPeerAdminCard.sh

I suspect that you may also have a problem with hlfv1 / v11 with the Fabric. You can check the Fabric version by running docker ps or docker images - if they have 1.0 at the end you need to remove them all and run downloadFabric.sh in the same window as you exported the FABRIC_VERSION variable, then run startFabric.sh

You need to remember to export that environment variable everytime you run one of those Fabric Tools scripts - so the better answer might be to delete the Fabric Tools folder and all docker Images and Containers - then download a new version of Fabric tools which includes the new default for Fabric 1.0

When you upgrade the composer modules from an earlier version to the latest version connection profile will not be compatible with the system. An ideal solution is to remove and delete the composer folder and create the .composer folder from the home directory and try creating PeerAdmin card again. Once that is done you are good to go for installing the starting the new business network application.
