DWService - Agent

This is DWService agent for operative systems Linux, Mac and Windows. The code is written in python2 and several libraries are written c++.

Start the agent

If you prefer you can start the agent from the sources but you keep in mind in this mode the agent does not update automatically, so you need to update sources manually every time. Before to start the agent you need to:

• Install python3
• Install g++/make (if Windows download Mingw-w64 version 64bit or 32bit)
• To compile Wayland support on Linux, install libraries: libpipewire-0.3-dev, libdbus-1-3, and libdbus-1-dev
• Download agent source code (zip or git clone)
• Execute these commands from agent/make:

python3 ./compile_all.py; # Compile all c++ libraries.
python3 ./create_config.py; # Create Agent config.json in agent/core path.

Now you are ready to start the agent by execute this command from agent/core:

python3 ./agent.py;

If the agent still tries setting up a Xorg session on client connect, with Wayland active and even environment XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland set, try forcing Wayland in the agent configuration:

    "enabled": true,
    "debug_mode": true,
+     "desktop": {
+         "force_capturescreenlib": "wayland"
+     }

Setup the agent for development

Thanks Eclipse + Pydev and CDT you can develop the agent with only one IDE from your prefer operative system. You also need of python3 and g++/make (if Windows download Mingw-w64 version 64bit or 32bit) installed on your system. After configuring the IDE and importing the source code, you need to execute same scripts of "Start the agent" section.

You can read the guide on the wiki to learn how to setup the agent for development.
