About

This project contains a Node.js application used in conjunction with a cns-broker. When run, the simulator publishes itself to the broker, the broker then connects node contexts together using connection profiles and publishes the connections back to the node. The application works on any POSIX-compliant shell (sh, dash, ksh, zsh, bash), in particular on these platforms: unix, linux, macOS, and Windows WSL.

Installing

To install or update the application, you should fetch the latest version from this Git repository. To do that, you may either download and unpack the repo zip file, or clone the repo using:

git clone https://github.com/cnscp/cns-simulator.git

Either method should get you a copy of the latest version. It is recommended (but not compulsory) to place the repo in the ~/cns-simulator project directory. Go to the project directory and install Node.js dependancies with:

npm install

Your application should now be ready to rock.

Usage

Once installed, run the application with:

npm run start

To shut down the application, hit ctrl-c.
