##Using Ruse

###Installation

####Linux

You will need Python 2.7 and VLC to run Ruse. You can install them via the command-line on Linux.

Ubuntu/Debian

apt-get update
apt-get install python python-pip vlc

Fedora/RHEL

yum install python python-pip vlc

Once you have Python installed, clone the repository and cd into it

git clone https://github.com/abettadapur/RuseServer.git
cd RuseServer

Install the requirements by running

   
pip install -r requirements.txt

Configure the bind and port in .crossbar/config.json, or leave them as the default 0.0.0.0:5000

Copy the example configuration file to a production version. Open in a text editor

cp ruse/etc/config/config.sample.py ruse/etc/config/config.py
gedit config.py

Fill in the information in the config file. Make sure that the bind and port numbers are the same as in .crossbar/config.json. If you use Google's two factor authentication, you will need to generate a one time password and use it here

Leave the streamkey set to None

Once everything is configured, run the server

crossbar start
python serve_wamp.py

####Windows

Install the Visual C++ Compiler for Python

Install the PyWin32 library

Follow the same steps as above
