Actor Platform for Cloud-Edge Applications

A remote computing platform based on Proto Actor for cloud-edge applications.

Building

Dependencies

Install pkg-config, libczmq-dev, this can be done on Ubuntu with:

sudo apt-get install pkg-config libczmq-dev

Then, create a venv and install gRPC, which is needed for generating protocol buffer code for Python and Go:

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

pip install grpcio
pip install grpcio-tools

go install google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go@latest
go install google.golang.org/grpc/cmd/protoc-gen-go-grpc@latest 

After installing gRPC, run under proto folder:

bash protobuf-gen.sh

This will generate Go and Python bindings for the protobuf messages and gRPC services used in the project.

Actor client installation

In order to communicate with actor platform, you need to install actorc client package. To install it, go to clients/py and run:

pip install -e .

The client also depends on Lucas, which is not included by pypi. Therefore, you need to install it manually:

git clone https://github.com/Xdydy/Lucas.git
cd Lucas && pip install -e .
