|
|
<p>Reticulum is not installed as a driver or kernel module, as one might expect
|
|
of a networking stack. Instead, Reticulum is distributed as a Python module.
|
|
This means that no special privileges are required to install or use it.
|
|
Any program or application that uses Reticulum will automatically load and
|
|
initialise Reticulum when it starts.</p>
|
|
<p>In many cases, this approach is sufficient. When any program needs to use
|
|
Reticulum, it is loaded, initialised, interfaces are brought up, and the
|
|
program can now communicate over Reticulum. If another program starts up
|
|
and also wants access to the same Reticulum network, the instance is simply
|
|
shared. This works for any number of programs running concurrently, and is
|
|
very easy to use, but depending on your use case, there are other options.</p>

<h2>Included Utility Programs<a class="headerlink" href="#included-utility-programs" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>If you often use Reticulum from several different programs, or simply want
|
|
Reticulum to stay available all the time, for example if you are hosting
|
|
a transport node, you might want to run Reticulum as a separate service that
|
|
other programs, applications and services can utilise.</p>

|
|
<h3>The rnsd Utility<a class="headerlink" href="#the-rnsd-utility" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
|
|
<p>To do so is very easy. Simply run the included <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rnsd</span></code> command. When <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rnsd</span></code>
|
|
is running, it will keep all configured interfaces open, handle transport if
|
|
it is enabled, and allow any other programs to immediately utilise the
|
|
Reticulum network it is configured for.</p>
|
|
<p>You can even run multiple instances of rnsd with different configurations on
|
|
the same system.</p>
