# Docs

You can find the full docs here: [docs/](https://git.utopic.work/PierMesh/piermesh/src/branch/main/docs)

# How to use

Note: these instructions will probably only work on Linux at the moment

Note: check the scripts to make sure they'll work with your system, and in general I recommend checking scripts before you run them

Follow Meshtastic's guide on setting up your device: [https://meshtastic.org/docs/getting-started/](https://meshtastic.org/docs/getting-started/)

Make sure you have the latest Python installed

Make sure you have pip and venv installed

```
git clone https://git.utopic.work/PierMesh/piermesh

cd piermesh

python -m venv .venv

source .venv/bin/activate

pip install -r requirements.txt

cd src

cp .piermesh.example .piermesh

Set the TransceiverPort (you should have this from setting up your Meshtastic device)

Set the PSK, this should match the PSK of node's you want to connect with

python run.py
```
You should now be able to access the web interface at port 5000 of the machine you set up on (likely localhost:5000)

Make sure to click connect at the top of the page to initialize your websocket connection, after this you can use the utilities provided

Hopper: proxy requests to the main internet

Catch: browse for a Catch/website on PierMesh

Catch Editor: create and publish a Catch onto PierMesh

Bubble: send peer to peer messages (and art using the pixel art tool) to other nodes
