<h1>Getting Started Fast<a class="headerlink" href="#getting-started-fast" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
|
||
<p>The best way to get started with the Reticulum Network Stack depends on what
|
||
you want to do. This guide will outline sensible starting paths for different
|
||
scenarios.</p>
|
||
<div class="section" id="try-using-a-reticulum-based-program">
|
||
<h2>Try Using a Reticulum-based Program<a class="headerlink" href="#try-using-a-reticulum-based-program" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<p>If you simply want to try using a program built with Reticulum, you can take
|
||
a look at <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/markqvist/nomadnet">Nomad Network</a>, which
|
||
provides a basic encrypted communications suite built completely on Reticulum.</p>
|
||
<a class="reference external image-reference" href="_images/nomadnet3.png"><img alt="_images/nomadnet3.png" src="_images/nomadnet3.png" /></a>
|
||
<p><a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/markqvist/nomadnet">Nomad Network</a> is a user-facing client
|
||
in the development for the messaging and information-sharing protocol
|
||
<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/markqvist/lxmf">LXMF</a>, another project built with Reticulum.</p>

|
||
<h2>Develop a Program with Reticulum<a class="headerlink" href="#develop-a-program-with-reticulum" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<p>If you want to develop programs that use Reticulum, the easiest way to get
|
||
started is to install the latest release of Reticulum via pip:</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">pip3</span> <span class="n">install</span> <span class="n">rns</span>
|
||
</pre></div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>The above command will install Reticulum and dependencies, and you will be
|
||
ready to import and use RNS in your own programs. The next step will most
|
||
likely be to look at some <a class="reference internal" href="examples.html#examples-main"><span class="std std-ref">Example Programs</span></a>.</p>
|
||
<p>Further information can be found in the <a class="reference internal" href="reference.html#api-main"><span class="std std-ref">API Reference</span></a>.</p>

<h2>Participate in Reticulum Development<a class="headerlink" href="#participate-in-reticulum-development" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<p>If you want to participate in the development of Reticulum and associated
|
||
utilities, you’ll want to get the latest source from GitHub. In that case,
|
||
don’t use pip, but try this recipe:</p>
