Installing Graphix

To install the Graphix shell from source you need to install a rust build environment. See here for instructions on how to do that for your platform. Once you have that set up, you can just run

cargo install graphix-shell

That should build the graphix command and install it in your ~/.cargo/bin directory. Windows and Mac OS should work out of the box as long as you have the prerequisites for rust installed.

Linux Prerequisites

Debian/Ubuntu

You need to install

• clang
• libkrb5-dev

On Fedora

You need to install

• clang-devel
• krb5-devel

Netidx

Graphix uses netidx to import and export data streams. So it is recommended that you set up at least a machine local installation of netidx when installing Graphix. Otherwise separate Graphix processes won't be able to communicate with each other and it will be difficult to get any data into Graphix.

See here for details

If you don't want to set up netidx Graphix will still work, it just won't be able to use the net module to send anything outside the current process.
