# Installation
| [◀ Previous](Introduction.md) | [Next ▶](Abstractions.md) |
|:-----------:|---------|
Over here we will cover the basic steps to get the server and client side running.
## Latest release install
https://github.com/Akilan1999/p2p-rendering-computation/releases
## Install from Github master branch
### Install Go lang
The entire the implementation of this project is done using Go lang.
Thus, we need go lang to compile to code to a binary file.
[Instructions to install Go lang](https://golang.org/doc/install)
### Install Docker
In this project the choice of virtualization is Docker due to it's wide usage
in the developer community. In the server module we use the Docker Go API to create and
interact with the containers.
[Instructions to install docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)

````
// Do ensure that the docker command does not need sudo to run
sudo chmod 666 /var/run/docker.sock
````
### Build Project and install project
To set up the internal dependencies and build the entire go code
into a single binary
```
make install
```
#### For Windows
To set up P2PRC on Windows, simply run this batch file.
**Make sure you are not in admin mode when running this.**
```
.\install.bat
```
### Add appropriate paths to `.bashrc`
```
export P2PRC=/<PATH>/p2p-rendering-computation
export PATH=/<PATH>/p2p-rendering-computation:${PATH}
```
### Set up configuration file
```
make configfile
```
Open the config file ```config.json``` and add the IPv6 address
if you have one.
### Test if binary works
```
p2prc --help
```
#### Output:

# Using basic commands
### Start as a server
Do ensure you have Docker installed for this
```
p2prc -s
```
### View server Specification
```
p2prc --specs=<ip address>
```
### Run container
use the ```--gpu``` if you know the other machine has a gpu.
```
p2prc --touch=<server ip address> -p <number of ports> --gpu
```
### Remove container
The docker id is present in the output where you create a container
```
p2prc --rm=<server ip address> --id=<docker container id>
```
### Adding servers to ip table
```
p2prc --as=<server ip address you want to add>
```
### Update ip table
```
p2prc --us
```
### List Servers
```
p2prc --ls
```
### View Network interfaces
```
p2prc --ni
```
### Viewing Containers created Client side
```
p2prc --tc
```
[read more on tracking containers](ClientImplementation.md#tracking-containers)
### Running plugin
```
p2prc --plugin <plugin name> --id <container id or group id>
```
### Create group
```
p2prc --cgroup
```
### Add container to group
```
p2prc --group <group id> --id <container id>
```
### View groups
```
p2prc --groups
```
### View specific group
```
p2prc --group <group id>
```
### Delete container from group
```
p2prc --rmcgroup --group <group id> --id <container id>
```
### Delete entire group
```
p2prc --rmgroup <group id>
```
[read more on grouping containers](ClientImplementation.md#Grouping-Containers)
### Extending usecase of P2PRC (Requires a go compiler to run)
```
p2prc --gen <project name> --mod <go module name>
```
[read more about the generate module](GenerateImplementation.md)
### Pulling plugin from a remote repo
```
p2prc --pp <repo link>
```
### Deleting plugin from the plugin directory
```
p2prc --rp <plugin name>
```
### Added custom metadata about the current node
```
p2prc --amd "custom metadata"
```

# Using Plugins
This feature is still Under Development:
[Read more on the implementation](PluginImplementation.md)
#### Dependencies
- Ansible:
- Debian/ubuntu: ```sudo apt install ansible```
- Others: [Installation link](https://ansible-tips-and-tricks.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ansible/install/)
#### Run Test Cases
- Generate Test Case Ansible file
- ```make testcases```
- Enter inside plugin directory and run tests.<br>
**Note:** That docker needs to installed and needs to run without
sudo. Refer the section [Install Docker](#install-docker).
- ```cd plugin```
- ```go test .```
