Instructions for Tails users
Using the binary version of Axis Mundi is easier than running from source code because of the stripped down nature of Tails.
However if you wish to build from source then follow these step by step instructions. It is assumed that you are using a fresh, unmodified version of Tails.
Firstly you must start Tails and login using the additional settings option. Set an administrative password.
Then the following steps are necessary
1) Open a terminal and enter the following commands, entering your administrative password when prompted:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential python-wxtools python-pip python-dev libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev
sudo pip uninstall PIL
git clone https://github.com/six-pack/axis-mundi
cd axis-mundi
sudo torsocks pip install -r requirements.txt
2) Tails uses very restrictive file-permissions when installing the python modules and they end up being inaccessible to anyone other than root. To fix this you must run the following command in the terminal:
sudo chmod -R o+r,o+X /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
3) Axis Mundi is now ready, however you must configure Tails firewall to permit access as follows:
sudo iptables -I OUTPUT 2 -p tcp -s 127.0.0.1 -d 127.0.0.1 -m owner --uid-owner amnesia -j ACCEPT
4) Finally, Torbrowser needs a proxy exception for localhost as by default there isn't one. To make this change from inside Tor Browser:
Click Preferences > Advanced Tab > Click Network sub-tab
Now click 'settings' button
Add '127.0.0.1' to the list in the 'No proxy for' box.
Click OK
5) You can now start Axis Mundi from your axis-mundi directory
python client.py
If you wish to create an Axis Mundi binary from source then you must download and install latest development version of PyInstaller - https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/archive/develop.zip
unzip develop.zip
cd pyinstaller-develop
sudo python setup.py install
sudo chmod -R o+r,o+X /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
Now that Pyinstaller is installed simply execute the following command from your Axis Mundi directory:
pyinstaller axismundi-pyinst.spec
The binary will be built and placed into the dist directory. Keep a copy of it on a persistent volume for easy use and is self-contained.
