Getting Started


  • Thu Mar 15 21:36:08 EST 2007, me

    INSTALL

    The standard inferno install is from Vitanuova. Download and install the latest edition for your platform.

    Another quick way of getting setup is to use Acme-SAC. This is an alternate packaging of inferno which uses only Acme editor as the user interface.

    ACCOUNT

    This website offers a number of services. Some, like this Wiki, which require no authorization, and a few others for which you need to create a userid and get a certificate.

    Here are the steps to create a certificate

                            mount -A tcp!canto.hopto.org!6678 /n/remote
                            echo yourusername passwd > /n/remote/createuser
    

    If the echo succeeds with no error message, then the new userid has been created. Then you need to get a certificate for that userid

                            getauthinfo default
    

    It will prompt you for a SIGNER; enter canto.hopto.org, then it will prompt for your username and password, use the ones from the previous step.

    SERVICES

    Now you're ready to use some of the other canto services. There is a kfs filesystem, which you can browse but not edit (unless you email me requesting an account).

                            mount tcp!canto.hopto.org!6669 /n/kfs
    

    This contains accounts for some members of the inferno community, for example /usr/caerwyn/lab contains all the source for the Inferno Programmer's Notebook.

    There is a public registry for you to announce your own services.

                            mount tcp!canto.hopto.org!registry /mnt/registry
    

    There is also a spree filesystem, which at the moment serves a small collection of games

                            mount tcp!canto.hopto.org!6679 /n/remote
                            spree/join -d /n/remote 0
    

    A window will popup representing the lobby area. You can start a new game sesssion or watch other games. If no one's in the lobby you might find someone to challenge in the #inferno channel on irc.freenode.net.

    This wiki is also available as a filesystem. Try using the acme/Wiki client to browse and edit the wiki pages.

                       	mount -A tcp!canto.hopto.org!wiki /mnt/wiki
    

    BUGS

    Spree is fun when it's working but seems broken most of the time.

    Oops, I got as far as

                            getauthinfo default
    

    and it said

                            getauthinfo: failed to authenticate: can't get signer's public key: hungup
    

    To fix the above, try making sure your unix user and inferno user are the same. That worked for me -adric

    If the echo succeeds with no error message, then the new userid has been created. Then you need to get a certificate for that userid

        getauthinfo default
    

    It will prompt you for a SIGNER; enter canto.hopto.org, then it will prompt for your username and password, use the ones from the previous step.

    SERVICES

    Now you're ready to use some of the other canto services. There is a kfs filesystem, which you can browse but not edit (unless you email me requesting an account).

        mount tcp!canto.hopto.org!6669 /n/kfs
    

    This contains accounts for some members of the inferno community, for example /usr/caerwyn/lab contains all the source for the Inferno Programmer's Notebook.

    There is a public registry for you to announce your own services.

        mount tcp!canto.hopto.org!registry /mnt/registry
    

    There is also a spree filesystem, which at the moment serves a small collection of games

        mount tcp!canto.hopto.org!6679 /n/remote
        spree/join -d /n/remote 0
    

    A window will popup representing the lobby area. You can start a new game sesssion or watch other games.

    INSTALL

    The standard inferno install is from Vitanuova. Download and install the latest edition for your platform.

    ACCOUNT

    This website offers a number of services. Some, like this Wiki, which require no authorization, and a few others for which you need to create a userid and get a certificate.

    Here are the steps to create a certificate

      mount tcp!canto.hopto.org!6678 /n/remote
      echo yourusername passwd > /n/remote/createuser
    

    If the echo succeeds with no error message, then the new userid has been created. Then you need to get a certificate for that userid

      getauthinfo default
    

    It will prompt you for a SIGNER; enter canto.hopto.org, then it will prompt for your username and password, use the ones from the previous step.

    First steps to getting inferno installed, using acme, connecting to wiki, irc, and kfs. Required steps before being able to read the rest of the tutorials and run any labs.
