​​How to Install the Processor Component using Docker
​​ 
​​ 
​​In this quick tutorial, we are going to get you up and running with the Processor Component. The Processor Component is the central control for the FFBO architecture. It deals with authentication, setting up connections between distal components, and server maintenance. The Processor is required for a complete, functioning FFBO system. We are going to use a docker container, which will expose a public website, and the ability to connect through web sockets. Docker is a container system that will install all the required packages in an isolated system so that they do not interact with your current installation. We are assuming that we are running on Ubuntu 14.04, and you will need both docker and git installed.
​​ 
​​Pre-requisites:
  1. ​​ Ubuntu operating system
  1. ​​code has been developed and tested on ubuntu 14.04
  1. ​​ have git installed
  1. ​​follow the instruction here
  1. ​​Install Docker
  1. ​​follow the instructions here
​​ 
​​We can validate these dependencies by running the following command to test your Linux distribution
​​lsb_release -r
​​We can validate that git is installed using the command below. if you see "git: command not found" then you will need to install it as detailed in the link above.
​​git --version
​​Using similar logic, we can validate docker using, and we are looking for a version above 1.11.2
​​docker --version
​​ 
​​Installation
​​Assuming we have the above dependencies installed, we can continue to build, run, and interact with the docker container, by cloning the Processor Component repository, building the docker file, and running the container.
​​ 
​​Create a new directory for all ffbo packages
​​mkdir ffbo
​​cd ffbo
​​ 
​​Clone NeuroNLP and NeuroGFX Repositories
​​git clone "https://github.com/fruitflybrain/ffbo.neuronlp.git"
​​git clone "https://github.com/fruitflybrain/ffbo.neurogfx.git"
​​ 
​​Clone the Repo
​​git clone "https://github.com/fruitflybrain/ffbo.processor.git"
​​ 
​​Navigate to the Docker Folder
​​cd ffbo.processor_component/docker
​​Build the Docker File
​​sh docker_build.sh
​​Run the Dockerfile
​​sh docker_run.sh
​​ 
​​Validate the container is running
​​docker ps
​​Visit the Local Web Page at https://127.0.0.1:8081/.

​​Next Steps
​​After getting the Processor Up and running we suggest you look at getting some other components that will interact with the processor such as ​+NeuroNLP​ and ​+NeuroArch​. When you are familiar with the architecture, you can start creating
​​your own components using ​+Python​ and ​+Javascript​.
