How to launch SDK for C/C++/Python in MegamVertice

May 10, 2016 Written by Ranjitha Platform Operations Engineer

Introduction

A software development kit (SDK or “devkit”) is typically a set of software development tools that allows the creation of applications for a certain software package, software framework, hardware platform, computer system, operating system, or similar development platform. To create applications, you have to download a specific software development kit.

This tutorial will set up launching sdk using c/c++, python.

Prerequisites

You are running Ubuntu 14.04 or Linux workstation.
Git is installed on your server, which you can do by following the How To Install Git with Apt.
You have an account on GitHub, which is a Git repository host.
You have to create a valid credential for accessing docs.megam.io. How to create an account with MegamVertice

You have to install openssh-server for ssh access.

 sudo apt-get install openssh-server

To check the ssh is properly installed in our system

 ps aux | grep sshd

Launch SDK using c/c++

This initial section contains everything you need to get c/c++ running on your server.

First, ensure the user can login to docs.megam.io.
Go to the Market Places, click the C/C++.
Select the SDK option
You can create new sshkey or use an existing sshkey or upload your own sshkeys too.
Click the Create button. it will launch the C/C++ SDK.

Step - 1 C/C++ SDK

Next, Go to your Dashboard. Click the domain name of C/C++ SDK which opens a new window.

It contains the CPU, RAM and NETWORK tab.
It shows the Metrics, VM Logs, IP address and SSH URL.
Metrics shows the CPU,RAM and NETWORK usage.
You need to access the Virtual Machine from a terminal.
You can download the SSH Keys from SSH Keys tab or Overview page. Use this key to login to your virtual machine using the following command,
```
   ssh -i path to/example@email.com_os_key root@<ipaddress>
```

Step - 2 Running C program

In the VM gcc 4.9 version in installed. To test it, create a file in hello.c

open a file to write a hello world program in c,

  #include <stdio.h>
  main()
  {
  printf("hello World");
  }

Compile the program

gcc-4.9 hello.c -o hello  Run the program

./hello

Step - 3 Running C++ program

In the VM g++ 4.9 version is installed. To test it, create a file in hello.cc.

open a file to write a hello world program in c++,

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
main()
{
cout<<"hello world";
}

Compile the program

g++-4.9 hello.cc -o hello  Run the program

./hello

Launch SDK for Python

This initial section contains everything you need to get Python and running on your server.

First, ensure the user to login our websites.
Go to the Market Places to click the Python apps.
Select the SDK option
You can create a new sshkey, use an existing sshkey or import your own sshkeys too.
Click the create button. it will launch the Python app.

Step - 1 Access the Python SDK

Next, Go to the Dashboard.click the domain name of python app and open a new window.

It contains the CPU, RAM and NETWORK tab.
It shows the Metrics, VM Logs, IP address and SSH URL.
Metrics shows the CPU,RAM and NETWORK usage.
VM Logs shows all the running process in VM.
You need to access the Virtual Machine from a terminal.
You can download the SSH Keys from SSH Keys tab or Overview page. Use this key to login to your virtual machine using the following command,
```
   ssh -i path to/example@email.com_os_key root@<ipaddress>
```

Step - 2 Running a python program

After ssh into vm, check python version

  python --version

Create a file in hello.py.

open a file to Write a hello world program

  #! /usr/bin/python
  print 'hello world!'

Change the file permission into a file

chmod 755 hello.py

Run the program

./hello.py

Conclusion

These are the very simple steps to launch SDK using C/C++/Python.
