Getting started with Starlet
============================
Set up OLA
----------
First, install and set up [OLA](https://openlighting.org) for your lighting
environment. Start olad if it's not already running: `olad -l 3` (in a separate
terminal). Patch all the output interfaces for your system (see the OLA
documentation for details).
Use the web interface (http://127.0.0.1:9090/ola.html) to check that you can
control lights properly.
Set up Guile
------------
Install [Guile](https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/), if it's not already
present. Version 3 is required. You will need to install the development
files (`guile-devel` or similar) as well.
There may be multiple parallel installations of Guile on your system, so make
sure you know the command for launching version 3. On Fedora, the command is
`guile3.0`.
Compile Starlet code
--------------------
Most of Starlet is written in pure Scheme, but there is a small interface
library written in C++ as well as some GUI programs written in C. Compile and
install them as follows:
```
$ meson build
$ ninja -C build
$ sudo ninja -C build install
```
Starting up
-----------
Run `guile`, giving it the path of the Starlet scheme code. From the top-level
Starlet folder:
```
$ guile -L guile --listen=/home/myself/guile.socket
```
`/home/myself/guile.socket` will be the name of the Unix domain socket to which
the GUI utilities. You can also connect an interactive coding system such as
[Conjure](https://conjure.fun/) or [Geiser](http://www.nongnu.org/geiser/).
Continue with [patching fixtures](docs/patching.rst).
