1. OVERVIEW

Pandora is a free peer-to-peer (P2P) desktop (not web) application, designed for ordinary people, has a graphical user interface (GUI) and works "out of the box".

It affords functions of instant messenger, audio and video chat, encyclopedia article and file exchange, trading platform, payment system, distributed development system and vote system. Pandora has its own binary protocol, uses a cryptography and trust network.

The concept of Pandora is described in the article: https://github.com/Novator/Pandora/wiki/P2P-social-network-Pandora

Use utility HashCheck to check sums in Windows: http://code.kliu.org/hashcheck/ or build-in Windows commands: certutil -hashfile .\pandora_setup.exe MD5 certutil -hashfile .\pandora_setup.exe SHA1

5. INSTALLATION IN DEBIAN

Download a package and install it with root:

https://github.com/Novator/Pandora/releases/download/0.7-alpha/pandora-net_0.7-ubuntu.deb dpkg -i pandora-net_0.7-ubuntu.deb apt-get -f -y install

Use commands to check: md5sum ./pandora-net_0.7-ubuntu.deb sha1sum ./pandora-net_0.7-ubuntu.deb

6. PREPARATION OF MACOSX

Run these commands in terminal:

xcode-select --install ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" brew update brew doctor brew install ruby brew install rbenv brew install ruby-build brew install openssl echo 'if which rbenv > /dev/null; then eval "$(rbenv init -)"; fi' >> ~/.bash_profile source ~/.bash_profile rbenv install -l RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--with-openssl-dir=brew --prefix openssl rbenv install 2.2.2 brew install gtk+ brew install sqlite3 brew install Caskroom/cask/xquartz brew install adwaita-icon-theme sudo gem update --system rvm implode \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby --autolibs=enable rvm reload

Restart your computer. Run also:

rvm install 2.2.2 rvm use 2.2.2 --default sudo gem install sqlite3 sudo gem install gtk2

Download and unpack master.zip (see the next chapter), run pandora.sh.

7. MANUAL INSTALLATION OR UPDATE

7.1. Download the archive and unpack it:

https://github.com/Novator/Pandora/archive/master.zip

or download the code with a git:

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/Novator/Pandora.git

7.2. Install needed packages if they still are not installed:

ruby, ruby-sqlite3, ruby-gtk2, openssl, unzip, ruby-curses (or ruby-ncurses), screen, ruby-gstreamer, gstreamer0.10-x, gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg, gstreamer0.10-plugins-good, gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad

7.3. Set executable rights:

chmod +x ./pandora.sh

7.4. Copy shortcut to desktop with root and edit paths inside:

cp ./view/pandora.desktop /usr/share/applications/ nano /usr/share/applications/pandora.desktop

Pandora can update itself by user click to button on status bar.

8. CONSOLE USER INTERFACE

By default Pandora launches Gtk2 graphical user interface, but you can force it to launch Ncurses console user interface:

./pandora.sh -c -- this is Curses/Ncurses mode ./pandora.sh -s -- run via screen or return to session ./util/pancurse.sh -- run or return screen session ./util/pancurse.sh -d -- run via screen like a daemon

Console interface is useful on Raspberri Pi, dedicated or virtual servers, when you need to have day-and-night node.

Attention: CUI has pared-down functionality in comparison with GUI. It is recommended to setup all preferences in GUI mode on desktop computer, then move ./base/pandora.sqlite to remote computer.
