1# Candelabra
2
3These are the supplementary materials for my thesis, Candelabra.
4
5 - `src/` is a Rust workspace containing the actual source code
6 - `analysis/` contains the benchmark results, and the Elixir livebook notebook used to process and visualise the data.
7 - `thesis/` contains the LaTeX code used to build the actual thesis, as well as VegaLite JSON files for graphs

11## Getting dependencies
12
13The easiest way to install the required dependencies is using Nix.
14After [installing it](https://nixos.org/download/), simply run one of the two commands below:
15
16 - `nix develop .#full` for a full environment with everything required to build the project, visualisations, and thesis. (approx 3.4G disk space)
17 - `nix develop .#minimal` for a smaller environment, with only enough to build the project and run tests (approx 1.9G disk space).
18
19You can also build the program itself with `nix build .#default`, or see below to run a test VM.
20
21Alternatively, manually set up the following programs:
22
23 - Rust nightly toolchain 2024-01-22
24 - Racket v8.10, with the `rosette` package installed - `raco pkg install rosette`. You may also need to manually install `z3`.
25 - [Just](https://crates.io/crates/just) 1.24.0
26 - To generate visualisations:
27 - [Livebook](https://livebook.dev/) 0.11.3
28 - [vega-cli](https://www.npmjs.com/package/vega-cli 5.26.0
29 - To build the thesis:
30 - Texlive, with the packages listed in `nix/tex-env.nix`
31 - `latexmk`
32
33Once you have dependencies installed, check the `README` in each directory for details on how to reproduce our results.

35## Building a testing VM
36
37The VM which we used for testing can be fully rebuilt by running `nix build .#vm`. This requires around 3.1G on disk.
38
39After building, run `./result/bin/run-candelabra-vm` to start it.
40The credentials are `root` / `candelabra`, and you can use SSH if desired.
41
42The VM has candelabra prebuilt as `candelabra-cli`, but no tools for visualisation or building the thesis.
