Welcome for any kind of contributions, e.g., [bugs](https://jira.hyperledger.org/browse/FABP-164?jql=project%20%3D%20FABP%20AND%20status%20in%20(%22In%20Progress%22%2C%20%22To%20Do%22)%20), [questions](https://chat.hyperledger.org/channel/fabric-sdk-py) and [documentation](https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric-sdk-py/tree/master/docs)!Recommend to read [How to Contribution](CONTRIBUTING.md) before taking action.## Pre-requisiteThe SDK requires thepython-devandlibssl-devpkgs.Run the following cmd to install the pre-requisites:OS | command |– | ———- |Ubuntu/Debian |sudo apt-get install python-dev python3-dev libssl-dev|Redhat/CentOS |sudo yum install python-devel python3-devel openssl-devel|MacOS |brew install python python3 openssl|More details to build the crypto lib, can be found athttps://cryptography.io/en/latest/installation/#building-cryptography-on-linuxhttps://cryptography.io/en/latest/installation/#building-cryptography-on-macos## TutorialSee [Tutorial](docs/tutorial.md) to get familiar with the major SDK APIs.## Quick Testing### Use Virtual Env[virtualenv](https://virtualenv.pypa.io) helps provide a clean environment, suggest to use it to test.`sh $ pip install virtualenv # install the virtualenv tool if not installed $ make venv  # create a virtual env $ source venv/bin/activate $ # Do the testing here $ deactivate  # deactive the virtual env $ make clean # clean the temporary files `### Run Integration Testing
The following command will run the testing.`sh $ make check # Check environment and run tests $ make test # Only run test cases $ tox-epy30--test/integration/ca_test.py  # Run specified test case `## Generating Docker images
The following command will build the Docker imagehyperledger/fabric-sdk-py.`sh $ make image `## Change Logs
