realnet 0.0.95

Realnet command line interface

realnet

Architecture

Coming soon

Prerequisites

For now, before attempting to configure, make sure that you have:

1. a valid postgres database and an account that can manage creation and alteration of tables - you will need url, database name, username and password
2. a valid AWS SQS url, AWS S3 url and AWS key and secret that allow write access to them
3. Replace each CHANGE_OTHERWISE_NO_SECURITY in your config/.env with a separate cryptographically secure hash - remember to always store this kind of information securely

optional: 4. A valid ChatGPT API Key

How to run on linux/windows from source

The realnet server needs to be configured and running. How to do that can be found in the readme.md for https://github.com/virtual-space/realnet/ If you are on Windows, we suggest you use WSL2...

• Clone out the repo

git clone https://github.com/virtual-space/realnet/realnet.git

• Go to the repo root folder

cd realnet

• In the repo root folder create an .env file with the following content:

REALNET_SERVER_HOST='0.0.0.0'
REALNET_SERVER_PORT='8080'

• run command

chmod 700 .env

• run the following commands:

python -m venv venv
. ./venv/bin/activate
python setup.py install
realnet server initialize

• finally to start realnet and see available commands, run the following command:

realnet server start

• for further info about the commands, run the following command:

realnet -h

How to build a Docker image and run it locally

TODO please validate and correct

docker build -t realnet:latest .
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 realnet:latest

How to install a pip package and run it locally

TODO please validate and correct

Make sure that you have the .env file present with the folder with the right values (see other sections). Your python version should probably be 3.10.11 or later

To upgrade python on ubuntu follow steps from https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-python-on-ubuntu-linux-system/ and then if it is still not working try the following

curl -sS https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | sudo python3.10

sudo apt-get install python3.10-pip python3.10-distutils python3.10-dev python3.10-venv
curl -sS https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | sudo python3.10

Once the pre-requisits are satisfied, you can run realnet in the following way:

python3 -m venv venv
. ./venv/bin/activate
pip install realnet
pip install pyopenssl --upgrade
realnet server initialize
realnet server start

installation notes (python setup.py | pip install)

TODO: Review if below still applies

You may need to manually install some dependencies. The install command should tell you what is missing.

The Cryptography module takes a long time to compile.

Below is an incomplete list of installation instructions for dependencies. If you're not doing this on a fresh installation, you should run python setup.py install or pip install realnet to see what you need first.

• Inside VENV

pip install --upgrade pip
pip install setuptools-rust

• Outside VENV postgreSQL (pg_config is missing)

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt $(lsb_release -cs)-pgdg main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list'
wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install postgresql

c/c++ compilers (gcc/g++ is missing)

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential

Optional Man pages

sudo apt-get install manpages-dev

To test the C & C++ compiler installations run these commands:

gcc --version
g++ --version

bluetooth dev tools (bluetooth/bluetooth.h is missing)

sudo apt-get install libbluetooth-dev
