> Automate the setup and deployment of Hyperledger Fabric networks.

- Bring up the default Hyperledger Fabric network:

`minifab up {{[-i|--fabric-release]}} {{minifab_version}}`

- Bring down the Hyperledger Fabric network:

`minifab down`

- Install chaincode onto a specified channel:

`minifab install {{[-n|--chaincode-name]}} {{chaincode_name}}`

- Install a specific chaincode version onto a channel:

`minifab install {{[-n|--chaincode-name]}} {{chaincode_name}} {{[-v|--chaincode-version]}} {{chaincode_version}}`

- Initialize the chaincode after installation/upgrade:

`minifab approve,commit,initialize,discover`

- Invoke a chaincode method with the specified arguments:

`minifab invoke {{[-n|--chaincode-name]}} {{chaincode_name}} {{[-p|--chaincode-parameters]}} '"{{method_name}}", {{"argument1", "argument2", ...}}'`

- Make a query on the ledger:

`minifab blockquery {{block_number}}`

- Quickly run an application:

`minifab apprun {{[-l|--chaincode-language]}} {{app_programming_language}}`
