UREST

A simple REST server for Universal robots in ruby, which uses the ur-sock library.

Getting Started

A simple ruby server, which uses the ur-sock library.

Prerequisites & Installation

This server has no special prerequisites. But it is always advisable to prepare your machine for installation and development, and install some common libraries and headers, which are used by common dependencies:

• Windows 10 users with WSL2 can use Fedora/Ubuntu instructions below 
• Mac OSX users can use brew: brew install libxml2 libxslt 
• Ubuntu (>=20.04) / Debian users can use their package manager: sudo apt-get install build-essential ruby-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libz-dev libssl-dev librasqal-dev libraptor2-dev libicu-dev
• Fedora (>=32) users can use their package manager: sudo dnf install @buildsys-build @development-tools @c-development ruby-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel zlib-devel rasqal-devel raptor2-devel libicu-devel 

You can then install the UREST gem with:

gem install urest

If you want to develop or extend the server, just use the following instruction

git clone https://github.com/etm/urest
git clone https://github.com/fpauker/ur-sock

Just follow the install instructions of the 2 projects.

Starting the server

To scaffold a server, first create a directory, then use the urest

mkdir -p ~/run/urest
cd ~/run/urest
urest scaffold

After changing the .conf file to point to your UR, you can start the server with

./urest start

or

./urest -v start

to see verbose output.
