.. _quickstart: Getting Started with CLyman =========================== :ref:`Go Home ` Docker ------ The easiest way to get started with CLyman is with `Docker `__ If you do not have Docker installed, please visit the link above to get setup before continuing. The first thing we need to do is setup the Docker Network that will allow us to communicate between our containers: ``docker network create dvs`` Before we can start CLyman, we need to have a few other programs running first. Luckily, these can all be setup with Docker as well: ``docker run -d --name=registry --network=dvs consul`` ``docker run -d --network=dvs --name=document-db mongo`` This will start up a single instance each of Mongo and Consul. Consul stores our configuration values, so we'll need to set those up. You can either view the `Consul Documentation `__ for information on starting the container with a Web UI, or you can use the commands below for a quick-and-dirty setup: ``docker exec -t registry curl -X PUT -d 'mongodb://document-db:27017/' http://localhost:8500/v1/kv/clyman/Mongo_ConnectionString`` ``docker exec -t registry curl -X PUT -d 'mydb' http://localhost:8500/v1/kv/clyman/Mongo_DbName`` ``docker exec -t registry curl -X PUT -d 'test' http://localhost:8500/v1/kv/clyman/Mongo_DbCollection`` ``docker exec -t registry curl -X PUT -d 'True' http://localhost:8500/v1/kv/clyman/StampTransactionId`` ``docker exec -t registry curl -X PUT -d 'Json' http://localhost:8500/v1/kv/clyman/Data_Format_Type`` Then, we can start up CLyman: ``docker run --name clyman --network=dvs -p 5555:5555 -d aostreetart/clyman -consul-addr=registry:8500 -ip=localhost -port=5555 -log-conf=CLyman/log4cpp.properties`` This will start an instance of CLyman with the following properties: - Connected to network 'dvs', which lets us refer to the other containers in the network by name when connecting. - Listening on localhost port 5555 - Connected to Consul Container We can open up a terminal within the container by: ``docker exec -i -t clyman /bin/bash`` The 'stop_clyman.py' script is provided as an easy way to stop CLyman running as a service. This can be executed with: ``python stop_clyman.py hostname port`` For a more detailed discussion on the deployment of CLyman, please see the :ref:`Deployment Section ` of the documentation. Using the Latest Release ------------------------ In order to use the latest release, you will still need to start up the applications used by CLyman, namely Mongo and Consul. This can be done using the docker instructions above, or by installing each to the system manually. Instructions: * `Mongo `__ * `Consul `__ Then, download the latest release from the `Releases Page `__ Currently, pre-built binaries are available for: * Ubuntu 16.04 * CentOS7 Unzip/untar the release file and enter into the directory. Then, we will use the easy_install.sh script to install CLyman. Running the below will attempt to install the dependencies, and then install the CLyman executable: ``sudo ./easy_install.sh -d`` If you'd rather not automatically install dependencies, and only install the executable, then you can simply leave off the '-d' flag. Additionally, you may supply a '-r' flag to uninstall CLyman: ``sudo ./easy_install -r`` Once the script is finished installing CLyman, you can start CLyman with: ``sudo systemctl start clyman.service`` The 'stop_clyman.py' script is provided as an easy way to stop CLyman running as a service. This can be executed with: ``python stop_clyman.py hostname port`` Note: The CLyman configuration files can be found at /etc/clyman, and the log files can be found at /var/log/clyman. Building from Source -------------------- The recommended system for development of CLyman is either Ubuntu 16.04 or CentOS7. You will need gcc 5.0 or greater installed to successfully compile the program. ``git clone https://github.com/AO-StreetArt/CLyman.git`` ``mkdir clyman_deps`` ``cp CLyman/scripts/linux/deb/build_deps.sh clyman_deps/build_deps.sh`` ``cd clyman_deps`` ``sudo ./build_deps.sh`` ``cd ../CLyman`` ``make`` This will result in creation of the clyman executable, which we can run with the below command: ``./clyman`` When not supplied with any command line parameters, CLyman will look for an app.properties file and log4cpp.properties file to start from. You may also build the test modules with: ``make tests`` In order to run CLyman from a properties file, you will need: - You need to have a Mongo Server installed locally. Instructions can be found at https://docs.mongodb.com/getting-started/ - You will also need a Kafka server running locally, instructions can be found at https://kafka.apache.org/quickstart Continue on to the :ref:`Configuration Section ` for more details on the configuration options available when starting CLyman.
