Windows

Creating a developing environment on Windows can be a bit of a hassle, this document should make it easier for anyone setting it up.

This will cover the following

  1. Make Linux environment with windows subsystem for Linux.
  2. Setting up a compiler to make new applications (todo)
  3. Use Cockpit to configure new and or current applications of tfc
  4. Propose methods for developing HMI with flutter (todo)

Create Linux environment

This wiki will use Debian to host the Linux environment, why, good question, it is easy to configure it to be rolling release distribution. Why do we need rolling release, the base of tfc uses the newest and greatest of C++ so it makes the developer experience easier to use an up to date distribution. If you like to use an old distribution, like Ubuntu, you would either need to add PPA to fetch a new compiler set or build your own compiler.

Let's get to it.

Check that version of wsl is compliant for the following steps, minimum required is 0.67.6. Please update you have too old

wsl --version

Follow the instructions on windows-wsl or open powershell and run the following command

wsl --install Debian

Now you should be inside a Linux environment, if not enter it by running wsl in powershell, enable systemd in our environment:

sudo nano /etc/wsl.conf # write the following text, CTRL+O to save and CTRL+X to exit.

[boot]
systemd=true

Now shutdown the Linux environment, run exit inside it and then the following wsl --shutdown in the powershell window.

Turn back on wsl by running wsl.

Verify systemd by running top and PID 1 should be systemd, CTRL+C to exit.

Update the environment

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Install cockpit

sudo apt install cockpit

Enable cockpit

sudo systemctl enable --now cockpit.socket

Reboot environment

sudo reboot

Run wsl again

wsl

Fetch the IP address of eth0

ip addr

Login to the :9090 in your preferred browser. You should be able to login

Now let's change the Debian to rolling release,

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list # Add the following line, CTRL+O to save and CTRL+X to exit. 

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian testing main

Update and restart

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo reboot

Download and install the latest release of tfc

sudo apt update
sudo apt install curl wget
curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/skaginn3x/framework/releases/latest \
                              | grep "tfc-framework-release-x86_64.deb" \
                              | cut -d : -f 2,3 \
                              | tr -d \" \
                              | wget -qi -
sudo apt install ./tfc-framework-release-x86_64.deb

Start ipc-ruler

sudo systemctl enable --now ipc-ruler@def.service

Check its status

sudo systemctl status ipc-ruler@def.service

Now you should be able to get access to all of tfc services through the Cockpit UI.
