Hi. I’m new to ipfs (and fairly new to node js) and looking for a tutorial to create a simple Js-ipfs app from scratch: how to install js-ipfs, start own peer/daemon, how to create ipld blocks, upload create Cid (out of raw data) to ipfs. Is there one?

Check out the project readme, in particular the [Getting started](https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs#getting-started-1) and [Documentation](https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs#documentation) sections. There are plenty of runnable examples there that cover everything you want to do.
