🚀 Usage

1. Installer — Install Reticulum Packages

python3 reticulum_installer.py

Available packages:

• 📡 RNS — Core Reticulum Network Stack (required)
• 💬 LXMF — Lightweight Extensible Message Format
• 🖥️ NomadNet — Terminal-based communicator
• 📱 Sideband — GUI messaging app
• 🔧 RNodeConf — RNode hardware configuration

2. Reticulum Configurator — Setup Network Interfaces

python3 reticulum_configurator.py

Features:

• Edit general settings (log level, transport mode)
• Manage network interfaces
• Quick Connect — Add public nodes instantly:
  • rmap.world:4242 — Reticulum Network Map
  • dublin.connect.reticulum.network:4965 — Official Testnet
  • reticulum.betweentheborders.com:4242 — Community Hub
  • And more...

3. NomadNet Configurator — Setup Your Node

python3 nomadnet_configurator.py

Features:

• Set display name and client options
• Configure text UI (colors, editor, intro)
• Enable node hosting to serve pages
• Auto-creates page folders with example homepage

📁 Page Hosting (NomadNet)

To host pages on your NomadNet node:

1. Enable node hosting in the configurator (option 4)
2. Place your .mu pages in:

   ~/.nomadnetwork/storage/pages/
   

3. Place files to share in:

   ~/.nomadnetwork/storage/files/
   

4. Restart NomadNet

Example page (index.mu):

`!Welcome to My Node

>This is my NomadNet node!

`[About`:/page/about.mu]
`[Files`:/file/]

🔧 Troubleshooting

Permission denied during install: The installer automatically tries --user or --break-system-packages flags.

Config file not found: Run the respective application once to generate defaults:

rnsd      # Creates ~/.reticulum/config
nomadnet  # Creates ~/.nomadnetwork/config

Python not found: Try python instead of python3, or install Python from your package manager.
