- Bring up the default Hyperledger Fabric network:

`minifab up -i {{minifab_version}}`

- Bring down the Hyperledger Fabric network:

`minifab down`

- Install chaincode onto a specified channel:

`minifab install -n {{chaincode_name}}`

- Install a specific chaincode version onto a channel:

`minifab install -n {{chaincode_name}} -v {{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}} -p '"{{method_name}}", "{{argument1}}", "{{argument2}}", ...'`

- Make a query on the ledger:

`minifab blockquery {{block_number}}`

- Quickly run an application:

`minifab apprun -l {{app_programming_language}}`
