PyTorrent

Installation

This project uses Pipenv for dependency and virtual environment management, more about Pipenv can be found here.

Python : 3.8
Tested OS: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS GNU Make: 4.2.1

Make sure Python and pip are already installed. Then run the following through pip in the terminal:
pip install --user pipenv Make sure pipenv is available on PATH if using the --user option.

Alternatively, you can use pipx to create an isolated environment to use pipenv. pip install --user pipx python3 -m pipx ensurepath to ensure pipx is on path. pipx install pipenv
After Pipenv has been installed run the following command in terminal to install the dependencies for this project:
make install
(Optional) Install Xterm to use the multi client launcher. Xterm can be installed using the following commands:
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install -y xterm
Before running the project, the files and client configs have to be generated. This can be done through by running
make build This checks if all the configs and files have been generated correctly.

(Xterm required) Multiple clients: Multiple clients can be started by running the following command
make clients
Then the client numbers to be started should be entered with a space in between. This will open a new xterm window for each client.
Single Client: A single client can be started in the same terminal window by isnig the following command
make client
This will by default start up client 1. To specify the client number to start up, the client number can be specified in the following way
make client client_no=3

To clean the temporary files in the repository like logs, configs etc., use the following command
make clean
