Getting Started

In order to set up and start using Zambeze, you will need the following dependencies:

• A running rabbitmq server, see rabbitmq documentation. RabbitMQ does not need admin privileges to install and run on Linux systems.

• Python >= 3.9. We suggest using Anaconda.

• (Optional) ImageMagick to try a first mock example use-case. It is available here.

Installing and Testing Zambeze

1. Checkout or Download the latest release from the Github.

2. From the terminal in the zambeze directory run the following:

   pip install -e .

3. Ensure that you have a RabbitMQ server is running and you are able to reach it. You may verify this by telnet’ing the rabbitmq server like so:

   telnet <rabbitmq.server> 5672

4. Navigate to the examples directory and run the python program imagemagick_files.py like so:

   python3 imagemagick_files.py

   If all goes well, the command will finish with no errors and you will see a new file called a.gif in your home directory.
