Cubism

On Cube and Cubism, and interfacing with them from Python.

Part 1: Hello Cube World

Step 1: install mongodb:

brew install mongodb

Step 2: install node.js

brew install node

Step 3: install cube using node package manager

npm install cube
cd node_modules/cube
npm install

This may spit out some kind of message, and look like it didn't install successfully, but you can just pretend like everything went fine and continue.

Step 4: In another terminal, start mongo daemon:

mongod

Step 5: start up cube's collector and evaluator:

cd node_modules/cube
node bin/collector.js 2>&1
node bin/evaluator.js 2>&1

These start on ports 1080 and 1081. Now test them out: visit localhost:1080 and localhost:1081

To post stuff to mongodb, post it to http://localhost:1080/1.0/event/put
