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. Netidx works with zero configuration for local use on a single machine - separate Graphix processes can communicate with each other out of the box.

For more advanced setups involving multiple machines, authentication, or custom resolver configurations, see the netidx book for details on setting up a netidx environment.
