-
- <h3><a name="download">Download</a></h3>
-
- <p> Only <a href="versions/">source</a> is available,
- including the <a href="versions/paraslash-cvs.tar.bz2">
- nightly cvs snapshot</a>. All regular releases are
- <a href="PUBLIC_KEY">cryptographically signed</a>.
- Anonymous (read-only) cvs access is also
- available. Checkout a copy with </p>
-
- <p> cvs -d
- :pserver:anonymous@cvs.systemlinux.org:/var/lib/cvs
- login </p>
- <p>(empty passwd)</p>
- <p> cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.systemlinux.org:/var/lib/cvs co paraslash </p>
-
-
- <p> Finally, you can <a href="HTML/index.html">RTFS online</a>.
- <hr>
-
- <h3><a name="live_demo">Live Demo</a></h3>
-
- <p> There is a public paraslash stream at www.paraslash.org,
- streaming
-
- <a href="http://www.digitalvibes.de/">the music of Henri Petterson</a>.
-
-
- You can listen to the stream with any mp3 player that supports
- http streaming. Both </p>
-
- <p>mpg123 http://www.paraslash.org:8009/</p>
-
- and
-
- <p>xmms http://www.paraslash.org:8009/</p>
-
- <p> are known to work.</p>
-
- <p> Moreover, there is an anonymous paraslash account
- available which you can use to have a look at paraslash
- without configuring and running para_server on your own box.
- Just download and run
-
- <a href="demo-script">this shell script</a>
-
- on your Unix system. If you prefer to do things manually,
- simply cut-and-paste the instructions given below verbatim
- to your shell. No root-privileges are required.</p>
-
-<ul>
- <li>
- Check that both aplay and mpg123 are installed on your system
- </li>
-
- <li>
- <a href="versions">Download </a>
- a recent paraslash package. You
- you need paraslash-0.2.0 or later
- for the demo, paraslash-0.1.x will not work.
- </li>
-
- <li>
-
- Install the neccessary paraslash binaries
- (you can safely ignore any warnings about
- missing software):
-
- <ul>
- <li>tar xjf paraslash-cvs.tar.bz2</li>
- <li>cd paraslash-cvs</li>
- <li>bin="para_client para_audioc para_audiod para_gui" # all we need
- <li>(./configure --prefix="$HOME" && make $bin) > /dev/null</li>
- <li> mkdir -p $HOME/bin; cp $bin $HOME/bin
- <li> export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
-
- </ul>
- There should be no errors.
- </li>
- <li>
- Get the key for the anonymous account on
- www.paraslash.org:
-
- <ul>
- <li> dir="$HOME/.paraslash"; server=www.paraslash.org</li>
- <li> mkdir -p $dir</li>
- <li> wget --directory-prefix=$dir http://$server/key.anonymous</li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li>
- Tell para_client that we want to connect to
- www.paraslash.org as user anonymous:
-
- <ul>
- <li> conf="$dir/client.conf"; socket="$dir/socket"</li>
- <li> echo user \"anonymous\" > $conf</li>
- <li> echo hostname \"$server\" >> $conf</li>
- <li> echo key_file \"$dir/key.anonymous\" >> $conf</li>
- <li> echo socket \"$socket\" >> $dir/audioc.conf</li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li>
- Start para_audiod
- <ul> <li>
-
- para_audiod -d --stream_read_cmd
- "mp3:mpg123 -s http://$server:8009/"
- --stream_write_cmd "mp3:aplay -fcd" -L $dir/audiod.log
- --socket=$socket
-
- </li> </ul>
- </li><li>
- Start para_gui
- <ul> <li>
- para_gui
