How to run

1. Open a terminal where we would run the name server. Since we use custom classes for message passing, the serializer needs to be mentioned to the name server. This can be done by issuing the command
   export PYRO_SERIALIZERS_ACCEPTED=serpent,json,marshal,pickle

2. Now we can start the python nameserver python3 -m Pyro4.naming --host=<Host_IPaddr>

3. Start the gatewayback.py backend db process

4. Start the gatewayfront.py frontend process

5. Start the various sensors and devices

6. Run the various test from the test folder

Note:

• Please start the proceses in the above order as frontend talks to backend and other devices talk to the frontend gateway
• To start any of the devices x_device.py or sensor x_sensor.py or frontend and backend gateway we run the command python3 x_device.py ns_name:ns_port
  where ns_name and ns_port correspond to the name server host name and port number
• Similarly, to run any test script from the tes directory issue the command python3 <test_file>.py ns_name:ns_port
• This has been tested on Pyro4 and python3. The plots are generated using ipython, matplotlib and pylab
