<h1>Getting Started Fast<a class="headerlink" href="#getting-started-fast" title="Permalink to this heading">#</a></h1>
|

<p>The best way to get started with the Reticulum Network Stack depends on what

scenarios.</p>

<h2>Standalone Reticulum Installation<a class="headerlink" href="#standalone-reticulum-installation" title="Permalink to this heading">#</a></h2>
|
||
<p>If you simply want to install Reticulum and related utilities on a system,
|
||
the easiest way is via the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pip</span></code> package manager:</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">pip</span> <span class="n">install</span> <span class="n">rns</span>
|
||
</pre></div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>If you do not already have pip installed, you can install it using the package manager
|
||
of your system with a command like <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sudo</span> <span class="pre">apt</span> <span class="pre">install</span> <span class="pre">python3-pip</span></code>,
|
||
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sudo</span> <span class="pre">pamac</span> <span class="pre">install</span> <span class="pre">python-pip</span></code> or similar.</p>
|
||
<p>You can also dowload the Reticulum release wheels from GitHub, or other release channels,
|
||
and install them offline using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pip</span></code>:</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">pip</span> <span class="n">install</span> <span class="o">./</span><span class="n">rns</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="mf">0.5.1</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">py3</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">none</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="nb">any</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">whl</span>

<h2>Resolving Dependency & Installation Issues<a class="headerlink" href="#resolving-dependency-installation-issues" title="Permalink to this heading">#</a></h2>
|
||
<p>On some platforms, there may not be binary packages available for all dependencies, and
|
||
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pip</span></code> installation may fail with an error message. In these cases, the issue can usually
|
||
be resolved by installing the development essentials packages for your platform:</p>
|
||
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="c1"># Debian / Ubuntu / Derivatives</span>

<span class="n">sudo</span> <span class="n">apt</span> <span class="n">install</span> <span class="n">build</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">essential</span>

|

</pre></div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>With the base development packages installed, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pip</span></code> should be able to compile any missing
|
||
dependencies from source, and complete installation even on platforms that don’t have pre-
|
||
compiled packages available.</p>

<h2>Try Using a Reticulum-based Program<a class="headerlink" href="#try-using-a-reticulum-based-program" title="Permalink to this heading">#</a></h2>
|
||
<p>If you simply want to try using a program built with Reticulum, a few different
|
||
programs exist that allow basic communication and a range of other useful functions,
|
||
even over extremely low-bandwidth Reticulum networks.</p>
|
||
<p>These programs will let you get a feel for how Reticulum works. They have been designed
|
||
to run well over networks based on LoRa or packet radio, but can also be used over fast
|
||
links, such as local WiFi, wired Ethernet, the Internet, or any combination.</p>
|
||
<p>As such, it is easy to get started experimenting, without having to set up any radio
|
||
transceivers or infrastructure just to try it out. Launching the programs on separate
|
||
devices connected to the same WiFi network is enough to get started, and physical
|
||
radio interfaces can then be added later.</p>

<section id="remote-shell">

<h3>Remote Shell<a class="headerlink" href="#remote-shell" title="Permalink to this heading">#</a></h3>
|
||
<p>The <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/acehoss/rnsh">rnsh</a> program lets you establish fully interactive
|
||
remote shell sessions over Reticulum. It also allows you to pipe any program to or from a
|
||
remote system, and is similar to how <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ssh</span></code> works.</p>

<h3>Nomad Network<a class="headerlink" href="#nomad-network" title="Permalink to this heading">#</a></h3>
|
||
<p>The terminal-based program <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/markqvist/nomadnet">Nomad Network</a>
|
||
provides a complete encrypted communications suite built with Reticulum. It features
|
||
encrypted messaging (both direct and delayed-delivery for offline users), file sharing,

user authentication and more.</p>

<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/markqvist/lxmf">LXMF</a>, another project built with Reticulum.</p>
|

<p><strong>Please Note</strong>: If this is the very first time you use pip to install a program
|
||
on your system, you might need to reboot your system for your program to become
|
||
available. If you get a “command not found” error or similar when running the
|

program, reboot your system and try again.</p>

|

<p>Reticulum comes with a range of included utilities that make it easier to
|
||
manage your network, check connectivity and make Reticulum available to other
|
||
programs on your system.</p>
|
||
<p>You can use <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rnsd</span></code> to run Reticulum as a background or foreground service,
|
||
and the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rnstatus</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rnpath</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rnprobe</span></code> utilities to view and query
|
||
network status and connectivity.</p>
|

<p>To learn more about these utility programs, have a look at the

<h2>Creating a Network With Reticulum<a class="headerlink" href="#creating-a-network-with-reticulum" title="Permalink to this heading">#</a></h2>
|
||
<p>To create a network, you will need to specify one or more <em>interfaces</em> for
|
||
Reticulum to use. This is done in the Reticulum configuration file, which by
|
||
default is located at <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">~/.reticulum/config</span></code>. You can get an example
|
||
configuration file with all options via <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rnsd</span> <span class="pre">--exampleconfig</span></code>.</p>
|
||
<p>When Reticulum is started for the first time, it will create a default
|
||
configuration file, with one active interface. This default interface uses
|
||
your existing Ethernet and WiFi networks (if any), and only allows you to
|
||
communicate with other Reticulum peers within your local broadcast domains.</p>
|
||
<p>To communicate further, you will have to add one or more interfaces. The default
|
||
configuration includes a number of examples, ranging from using TCP over the
|
||
internet, to LoRa and Packet Radio interfaces.</p>
|
||
<p>With Reticulum, you only need to configure what interfaces you want to communicate
|
||
over. There is no need to configure address spaces, subnets, routing tables,
|
||
or other things you might be used to from other network types.</p>
|
||
<p>Once Reticulum knows which interfaces it should use, it will automatically
|
||
discover topography and configure transport of data to any destinations it
|
||
knows about.</p>
|
||
<p>In situations where you already have an established WiFi or Ethernet network, and
|
||
many devices that want to utilise the same external Reticulum network paths (for example over
|
||
LoRa), it will often be sufficient to let one system act as a Reticulum gateway, by
|
||
adding any external interfaces to the configuration of this system, and then enabling transport on it. Any
|
||
other device on your local WiFi will then be able to connect to this wider Reticulum
|
||
network just using the default (<a class="reference internal" href="interfaces.html#interfaces-auto"><span class="std std-ref">AutoInterface</span></a>) configuration.</p>
|
||
<p>Possibly, the examples in the config file are enough to get you started. If
|
||
you want more information, you can read the <a class="reference internal" href="networks.html#networks-main"><span class="std std-ref">Building Networks</span></a>

||
<h2>Connecting Reticulum Instances Over the Internet<a class="headerlink" href="#connecting-reticulum-instances-over-the-internet" title="Permalink to this heading">#</a></h2>
|
||
<p>Reticulum currently offers two interfaces suitable for connecting instances over the Internet: <a class="reference internal" href="interfaces.html#interfaces-tcps"><span class="std std-ref">TCP</span></a>
|
||
and <a class="reference internal" href="interfaces.html#interfaces-i2p"><span class="std std-ref">I2P</span></a>. Each interface offers a different set of features, and Reticulum
|
||
users should carefully choose the interface which best suites their needs.</p>
|
||
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TCPServerInterface</span></code> allows users to host an instance accessible over TCP/IP. This
|
||
method is generally faster, lower latency, and more energy efficient than using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">I2PInterface</span></code>,
|
||
however it also leaks more data about the server host.</p>
|
||
<p>TCP connections reveal the IP address of both your instance and the server to anyone who can
|
||
inspect the connection. Someone could use this information to determine your location or identity. Adversaries
|
||
inspecting your packets may be able to record packet metadata like time of transmission and packet size.
|
||
Even though Reticulum encrypts traffic, TCP does not, so an adversary may be able to use
|
||
packet inspection to learn that a system is running Reticulum, and what other IP addresses connect to it.
|
||
Hosting a publicly reachable instance over TCP also requires a publicly reachable IP address,
|
||
which most Internet connections don’t offer anymore.</p>
|
||
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">I2PInterface</span></code> routes messages through the <a class="reference external" href="https://geti2p.net/en/">Invisible Internet Protocol
|
||
(I2P)</a>. To use this interface, users must also run an I2P daemon in
|
||
parallel to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rnsd</span></code>. For always-on I2P nodes it is recommended to use <a class="reference external" href="https://i2pd.website/">i2pd</a>.</p>
|
||
<p>By default, I2P will encrypt and mix all traffic sent over the Internet, and
|
||
hide both the sender and receiver Reticulum instance IP addresses. Running an I2P node
|
||
will also relay other I2P user’s encrypted packets, which will use extra
|
||
bandwidth and compute power, but also makes timing attacks and other forms of
|
||
deep-packet-inspection much more difficult.</p>
|
||
<p>I2P also allows users to host globally available Reticulum instances from non-public IP’s and behind firewalls and NAT.</p>
|
||
<p>In general it is recommended to use an I2P node if you want to host a publicly accessible
|
||
instance, while preserving anonymity. If you care more about performance, and a slightly
|
||
easier setup, use TCP.</p>

<h2>Adding Radio Interfaces<a class="headerlink" href="#adding-radio-interfaces" title="Permalink to this heading">#</a></h2>
|
||
<p>Once you have Reticulum installed and working, you can add radio interfaces with
|
||
any compatible hardware you have available. Reticulum supports a wide range of radio
|
||
hardware, and if you already have any available, it is very likely that it will
|
||
work with Reticulum. For information on how to configure this, see the
|
||
<a class="reference internal" href="interfaces.html#interfaces-main"><span class="std std-ref">Interfaces</span></a> section of this manual.</p>
|
||
<p>If you do not already have transceiver hardware available, you can easily and
|
||
cheaply build an <a class="reference internal" href="hardware.html#rnode-main"><span class="std std-ref">RNode</span></a>, which is a general-purpose long-range
|
||
digital radio transceiver, that integrates easily with Reticulum.</p>
|
||
<p>To build one yourself requires installing a custom firmware on a supported LoRa
|
||
development board with an auto-install script. Please see the <a class="reference internal" href="hardware.html#hardware-main"><span class="std std-ref">Communications Hardware</span></a>
|

<h3>Raspberry Pi<a class="headerlink" href="#raspberry-pi" title="Permalink to this heading">#</a></h3>
|

<p>It is currently recommended to use a 64-bit version of the Raspberry Pi OS
|
||
if you want to run Reticulum on Raspberry Pi computers, since 32-bit versions
|
||
don’t always have packages available for some dependencies.</p>
|
||
<p>While it is possible to install and run Reticulum on 32-bit Rasperry Pi OSes,
|
||
it will require manually configuring and installing some packages, and is not
|
||
detailed in this manual.</p>

<h2>Pure-Python Reticulum<a class="headerlink" href="#pure-python-reticulum" title="Permalink to this heading">#</a></h2>
|
||
<p>In some rare cases, and on more obscure system types, it is not possible to
|
||
install one or more dependencies</p>
|
||
<p>On more unusual systems, and in some rare cases, it might not be possible to
|
||
install or even compile one or more of the above modules. In such situations,
|
||
you can use the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rnspure</span></code> package instead of the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rns</span></code> package, or use <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pip</span></code>
|
||
with the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--no-dependencies</span></code> command-line option. The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rnspure</span></code>
|
||
package requires no external dependencies for installation. Please note that the
|
||
actual contents of the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rns</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rnspure</span></code> packages are <em>completely identical</em>.
|
||
The only difference is that the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rnspure</span></code> package lists no dependencies required
|
||
for installation.</p>
|
||
<p>No matter how Reticulum is installed and started, it will load external dependencies
|
||
only if they are <em>needed</em> and <em>available</em>. If for example you want to use Reticulum
|
||
on a system that cannot support <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pyserial</span></code>, it is perfectly possible to do so using
|
||
the <cite>rnspure</cite> package, but Reticulum will not be able to use serial-based interfaces.
|
||
All other available modules will still be loaded when needed.</p>
|
||
<p><strong>Please Note!</strong> If you use the <cite>rnspure</cite> package to run Reticulum on systems that
|
||
do not support <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/pyca/cryptography">PyCA/cryptography</a>, it is
|
||
important that you read and understand the <a class="reference internal" href="understanding.html#understanding-primitives"><span class="std std-ref">Cryptographic Primitives</span></a>
|
||
section of this manual.</p>
