Hacking

Install the dependencies. (This list is a work in progress. The python-* packages from http://pypi.python.org/ are not listed for now, since they are ever-evolving.):

$ sudo yum install python-virtualenv openssl-devel zeromq-devel gcc

Get the source:

$ git clone git://github.com/ralphbean/fedmsg.git
$ cd fedmsg

Make a virtualenv:

$ virtualenv fedmsg-env
$ source fedmsg-env/bin/activate
(fedmsg-env)$

Pull down pypi dependencies:

(fedmsg-env)$ python setup.py develop

Try out the shell commands

Having set up your environment in the Hacking section above, open up three terminals. In each of them, activate your virtualenv with:

$ source fedmsg-env/bin/activate

and in one, type:

(fedmsg-env)$ fedmsg-relay

In the second, type:

(fedmsg-env)$ fedmsg-tail --pretty

In the third, type:

(fedmsg-env)$ echo "Hello, world" | fedmsg-logger

And you should see the message appear in the fedmsg-tail term.
