**Bitmask** is the client for the services offered by `the LEAP Platform`_. It
contains a command-line interface and a multiplatform desktop client. It can be
also used as a set of libraries to communicate with the different services from
third party applications.
It is written in python using `Twisted`_ and licensed under the `GPL3`_. The
Graphical User Interface is written in html+js and uses `PyQt5`_ for serving
the application.

Package under development!
-----------------------------------------------------------
This is a unified repo that has merged the following packages, previously
isolated, under the leap namespace:
bonafide, mail, keymanager, bitmask.
The previous Qt client has been deprecated (bitmask version 0.8.2, still
available at the http://github.com/leapcode/bitmask_client repo).
Note that this repo still doesn't have support for VPN: its porting will
follow soon.
Read the Docs!
-----------------------------------------------------------
The latest documentation about Bitmask is available at `LEAP`_.

Development
===========================================================
Running Tests
-----------------------------------------------------------
You need tox to run the tests. If you don't have it in your system yet::
pip install tox
And then run all the tests::
tox
Hacking
-----------------------------------------------------------
In order to run bitmask in a development environment, you must activate a
virtualenv and install the various packages using 'pip install -e'. This
installs python packages as links to the source code, so that your code
changes are immediately reflected in the packages installed in the
virtualenv.
The various ``make dev-*`` commands will run the appropriate ``pip install``
commands for you.
Run headless backend in development mode
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Prerequisites::
sudo apt install build-essential python-dev python-virtualenv \
libsqlcipher-dev libssl-dev libffi-dev
Install and activate a virtualenv::
cd bitmask-dev
virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
All the subsequent commands assume that you have activated the virtualenv.
Install all the python dependencies::
make dev-backend
Run application::
bitmaskd
Run user interface frontend
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you want to run the Bitmask user interface, you additionally need the
following:
Prerequisites::
sudo apt install python-pyqt5 python-pyqt5.qtwebkit
Install python dependencies::
make dev-all
Note: even though the UI is in javascript, Qt is used to create a webview
window.
Run user interface::
bitmask
The command `bitmask` should be in your path if you have activated the virtual
environment.
Install Bitmask user interface in development mode
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The above instructions will install a python package that contains a pre-
bundled version of the javascript UI.
If you want to modify the javascript UI, then you need to be able to update the
javascript bundle whenever a javascript or CSS source file changes.
Prerequisites::
sudo apt install nodejs npm nodejs-legacy
Next, run ``dev-install``::
cd ui
make dev-install # install JS code as a python package in "develop" mode.
Now you should be able to run the user interface with debugging tools::
bitmaskd
chromium-browser http://localhost:7070
Firefox does not work as well, because the UI is only tested with webkit-based
browsers.
Chromium is not the best for this, however, because it uses a newer webkit.
Instead, try qupzilla::
sudo apt install qupzilla
bitmaskd
qupzilla -ow http://localhost:7070
If you make a change to any of the CSS or JS source files, you need to rebuild
the javascript bundle. You can do this continually as files change like so:
cd ui
node run watch
For more information, see ``ui/README.md``.
