This repository is used to download a set of components (bms, bas, ems, bsd, module-*) that are consistent with each other in terms of compatibility and versioning. This repository has all the components and scripts to run each machine (BMD, BAS, BSD, EMS).
Pick a machine with FHD (1920x1080) resolution and the ability to install Linux. Install Ubuntu 18.04.4+ Desktop, minimal installation. Software update.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install git make
git clone https://github.com/votingworks/vxsuite-complete-system
cd vxsuite-complete-system
make node
Then pull down all of the code. You can re-run these commands to pull the latest version of the code.
make checkout
make build
You can now run the services needed for any of the systems as follows:
bash run-election-manager.sh
bash run-bsd.sh
bash run-bmd.sh
bash run-bas.sh
Once the services are running, start the Kiosk Browser:
bash run-kiosk-browser.sh
You're good to go. You can exit the Kiosk Browser with Ctrl-W.
To configure and lock down the machine for production use, noting this is an irreversible process:
cd vxsuite-complete-system
bash setup-machine.sh
Each front-end system, bms, bas, ems, and bsd, and each
module, e.g. module-smartcards, module-scan, etc., should be an
application that can be built using make build, and then run using
make run.
Each component is a git submodule. We use submodules here because they are exactly what we need: a pointer to a particular commit of each of the combined repositories.
We use git submodules here for the components, for the express purpose that we never want to update one of the components without explicitly checking that all the modules work well together.
