Developer Setup on native OS

Please ensure that you have an email user from your preferred LEAP provider. If you don't have access to an existing LEAP provider, you can create an account at Bitmask mail demo provider. Details for developer installations on OSX and Debian distributions are explained below.

Issues for both OSX / Linux

• Currently Pixelated User agent only works with GPG < 2.1. In particular, new GPG keys cannot get generated using gpg 2.1

On OSX

First, you will need to install some system-wide dependencies:

• Command Line Tools for MacOS
  • xcode-select --install should do it
• Python 2
  • we recommend Homebrew and then run brew install python
• Pip
• Virtualenv
• GPG versions 1.4 or 2.0
  • run gpg --version to confirm the version you have installed
  • GPG version 2.1 won't work properly
  • if the version is 2.1 or higher, execute brew install gpg1 and export the gpg binary, according to the Caveats section (it'd be something like PATH="/usr/local/opt/gnupg@1.4/libexec/gpgbin:$PATH")
  • we recommend creating a backup of your ~/.gnupg prior to first use!
• npm
  • brew install npm
• Compass

  sudo gem update --system
  sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin compass
  

• openssl
  • brew install openssl

Installation steps

1. Add to your ~/.bashrc:

   # needed by the pixelated-user-agent
   export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"
   export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include"

2. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/pixelated/pixelated-user-agent.git
   cd pixelated-user-agent
   

3. This step will create a virtual environment and install the Pixelated User Agent

   make install
   

   If you ever need to activate the virtual environment manually, you can use source ~/.venvs/pixua/bin/activate

4. This step will run the Pixelated User Agent against the Bitmask mail demo provider (or you can use your favorite LEAP provider)

   make run provider=mail.bitmask.net
   

On Debian distributions

First, you will need to install some system-wide dependencies:

• Python 2, pip and virtualenv

  sudo apt install python-dev python-pip python-virtualenv
  

• node

  Please follow the instructions on the website. For Debian jessie you need to do this:

  curl -s https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
  sudo sh -c "echo deb https://deb.nodesource.com/node_7.x jessie main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodejs.list"
  sudo apt update
  sudo apt install nodejs
  

• Compass

  sudo apt install ruby-compass
  

• openssl

  sudo apt install openssl libssl-dev
  

• libffi

  sudo apt install libffi6 libffi-dev
  

Installation steps

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/pixelated/pixelated-user-agent.git
   cd pixelated-user-agent
   

2. This step will create a virtual environment and install the Pixelated User Agent

   make install
   

   If you need to activate the virtual environment manually, you can use source ~/.venvs/pixua/bin/activate

3. This step will run the Pixelated User Agent against the Bitmask mail demo provider (or you can use your favorite LEAP provider)

   make run provider=mail.bitmask.net
