The client offers cross-platform compatibility, high security, and efficiency, leveraging Rust and Cargo for robust terminal-based functionality. + +--- + +## Getting Started +### Prerequisites +- Rust (latest stable version) +- Cargo (Rust's package manager) +- Terminal or shell environment (Linux, macOS, or Windows with PowerShell or WSL) + +### Installation +1. Clone the repository: + ```bash + git clone https://github.com/sorydima/FIX.git + cd FIX + ``` +2. Build the project: + ```bash + cargo build --release + ``` +3. Run the client: + ```bash + cargo run + ``` + +### Configuration +- The configuration file `config.toml` must include: + ```toml + [network] + node_address = "127.0.0.1:8080" + federation_mode = true + + [encryption] + enable_e2e = true + ``` +- Adjust the settings to connect to your REChain Basis node or local server. + +--- + +## Features +1. **Cross-Platform Support** + Run seamlessly on Linux, macOS, and Windows. + +2. **Real-Time Messaging** + Supports chat, group messaging, and federated communication between servers. + +3. **End-to-End Encryption** + Secure communication with E2EE for maximum privacy. + +4. **Decentralized Federation** + Connect to REChain Basis servers and interact with the broader network. + +5. **Modular Design** + Expandable with additional modules for file sharing, video calls, and more. + +--- + +## Architecture +### Protocol Overview +The FIX client implements core features of the **REChain Basis Protocol**, including: +- **Federation:** Servers exchange data securely and efficiently. +- **Messaging API:** REST and WebSocket interfaces for seamless communication. +- **Data Synchronization:** Supports backfill and re-sync for robust message delivery. + +### Diagram: Client-Server Interaction +``` ++------------------+ +------------------+ +------------------+ +| FIX Client | ---->| REChain Node | ---->| Other Federation| +| (User terminal) | | (Processing) | | (Federated Node)| ++------------------+ +------------------+ +------------------+ +``` + +--- + +## Usage Guide +### Basic Commands +- **Login:** + ```bash + fix-cli login --username "user" --password "password" + ``` +- **Send Message:** + ```bash + fix-cli send --to "room_id" --message "Hello, REChain!" + ``` +- **Retrieve Messages:** + ```bash + fix-cli fetch --room "room_id" + ``` + +### Advanced Configuration +- **Federation Mode:** + Enable `federation_mode` in `config.toml` for decentralized communication. +- **Offline Mode:** + Allows autonomous operation without an internet connection. + +--- + +## Contributing +### How to Contribute +1. Fork the repository. +2. Create a feature branch: + ```bash + git checkout -b feature/your-feature + ``` +3. Test and commit your changes: + ```bash + cargo test + git commit -m "Add new feature" + ``` +4. Submit a pull request. + +### Development Guidelines +- Adhere to Rust's coding conventions. +- Ensure compatibility with Cargo builds. +- Write unit tests for all new features. + +--- + +## FAQ +1. **What is FIX?** + A terminal client for interacting with the REChain Basis Protocol. + +2. **How do I connect to a REChain node?** + Configure `node_address` in `config.toml`. + +3. **Can FIX operate without internet?** + Yes, it supports autonomous operation within a local network. + +--- + +## Additional Resources +- **Protocol Documentation:** [Protocol.md](#) +- **Related Projects:** + - [REChain-](https://github.com/sorydima/REChain-) + - [Katya](https://github.com/sorydima/Katya-)
