-How to Install GNUnet
----------------------
-
-### 1. From Source
-
-**Dependencies**
-
-Install these packages. Some of them may need to be installed from source 
depending on your OS.

-```
-
-
-You can also install the dependencies with the [GNU Guix package 
manager:](https://https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/) by using the provided 
environment file: 
-
-```shell
-guix package -l guix-env.scm
-```
-
-
-**Using GNU Make**
-
-```shell
-./bootstrap # Run this to generate the configure files.
-./configure # See the various flags avalable to you.
-make
-make install
-```
-
-**Using the [GNU Guix package 
manager:](https://https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/)**
-
-```shell
-# To build, run tests, and install:
-guix package -f guix-env.scm
-
-# To skip the testing phase:
-guix package -f guix-env.scm:notest
-```
-
-
-### 2. Docker
-
-```
-# From within the top-level of this repository run:
-docker build -t gnunet -f ./contrib/docker/Dockerfile .
-```
-
-For more info on using the docker container see 
[here](contrib/docker/README.md).

-
-Using GNUnet
--------------
-
-There are many possible ways to use the subsystems of GNUnet, so we will 
provide a few examples in this section.
-
-<p align="center">

src="contrib/gnunet-arch-full.svg" alt="GNUnet Modular Architecture" 
width="600px" border="1px"/></a>
-</p>
-
->***GNUnet is composed of over 30 modular subsystems***
-
-
-### Start GNUnet Services
-
-Before we can begin using most of the components we must start them.
-
-```shell
-gnunet-arm --start
-```
-
-Now we can open up another shell and try using some of the modules.
-
-### Cadet
-
-#### Examples
-
-Open a Cadet connection:
-
-```shell
-# Node 1
-gnunet-cadet -o <shared secret>
-```
-
-Conect to peer:
-
-```shell
-# Node 2
-gnunet-cadet <peer-id of Node 1> <shared secret>
-```
-
-#### Sharing Files
-
-With the cli tool, you can also share files:
-
-```shell
-# Node 1
-gnunet-cadet -o <shared secret> > filename
-```
-
-On the Node 2 we're going to send the file to Node 1, and to do this we need 
to make use of 
[coprocesses](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Coprocesses.html).
-The syntax for using coprocesses varies per shell. In our example we are 
assuming Bash. More info for different shells can be found 
[here](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/86270/how-do-you-use-the-command-coproc-in-various-shells)
-
-```shell
-# Node 2
-coproc gnunet-cadet <peer-id of Node 1> <shared secret>
-cat <file> >&"${COPROC[1]}"
-```
-
-Now this enables us to do some fun things, such as streaming video by piping 
to a media player:
-
-```shell
-# Node 1
-gnunet-cadet -o <shared secret> | vlc -
-```
-
-```shell
-# Node 2
-coproc gnunet-cadet <peer-id of Node 1> <shared secret>
-cat <video-file> >&"${COPROC[1]}"
-```
-
-### Filesharing
-
-You can use GNUnet as a content-addressed storage, much like IPFS: sharing 
immutable files in a decentralized fashion with added privacy.
-
-For instance, you can get a nice cat picture with
-```sh
-gnunet-download 
gnunet://fs/loc/CB0ZX5EM1ZNNRT7AX93RVHCN1H49242DWZ4AXBTCJBAG22Z33VHYMR61J71YJXTXHEC22TNE0PRWA6D5X7NFNY2J9BNMG0SFN5DKZ0G.R48JSE2T4Y3W2AMDHZYX2MMDJC4HR0BVTJYNWJT2DGK7EQXR35DT84H9ZRAK3QTCTHDBAE1S6W16P8PCKC4HGEEKNW2T42HXF9RS1J0.1906755.J5Z3BDEG2PW332001GGZ2SSKCCSV8WDM696HNARG49X9TMABC4DG.B6Y7BCJ6B5K40EXCXASX1HQAD8MBJ9WTFWPCE3F15Q3Q4Y2PB8BKVGCS5HA4FG4484858NB74PBEE5V1638MGG7NS40A82K7QKK3G0G.1577833200
 --output cat.png
-```
-
-You can also give files to the network, like so:
-
-```sh
-$ echo "I love GNUnet" > ILoveGNUnet.txt
-$ gnunet-publish ILoveGNUnet.txt
-
-Publishing `/tmp/ILoveGNUnet.txt` done.
-URI is 
`gnunet://fs/chk/SXA4RGZWDHE4PDWD2F4XG778J4SZY3E3SNDZ9AWFRZYYBV52W1T2WQNZCF1NYAT842800SSBQ8F247TG6MX7H4S1RWZZSC8ZXGQ4YPR.AZ3B5WR1XCWCWR6W30S2365KFY7A3R5AMF5SRN3Z11R72SMVQDX3F6GXQSZMWZGM5BSYVDQEJ93CR024QAAE65CKHM52GH8MZK1BM90.14`.
-```
-
-The URI you get is what you can use to retrieve the file with 
`gnunet-download`.
-
-### GNS
-
-*coming soon*
-
-
-### VPN
-
-#### "Half-hidden" services
-
-You can tunnel IP traffic through GNUnet allowing you to offer web, 
[rsh](https://linux.die.net/man/1/rsh), messaging or other servers without 
revealing your IP address.
-
-This is similar to Tor's Hidden (aka Onion) services, but currently does not 
provide as much privacy as onion routing isn't yet implemented; on the other 
hand, you can tunnel UDP, unlike Tor.
-
-#### Configuring server
-
-First, set up access from GNUnet to IP with `exit`:
-
-`gnunet.conf`:
-```
-[exit]
-FORCESTART = YES
-EXIT_IPV4 = YES
-EXIT_RANGE_IPV4_POLICY = 169.254.86.1;
-```
-
-Exit, by the way can also be used as a general-purpose IP proxy i.e. exit 
relay but here we restrict IPs to be accessed to those we'll be serving stuff 
on only.
-
-Then, start up a server to be shared. For the sake of example,
-
-```sh
-python3 -m http.server 8080
-```
-
-Now to configure the actual "half-hidden service". The config syntax is as 
follows:
-
-```sh
-[<shared secret>.gnunet.]
-TCP_REDIRECTS = <exposed port>:<local IP>:<local port>
-```
-
-...which for our example would be
-
-```sh
-[myhttptest.gnunet.]
-TCP_REDIRECTS = 80:169.254.86.1:8080
-```
-
-Local IP can be anything (if allowed by other configuration) but a localhost 
address (in other words, you can't bind a hidden service to the loopback 
interface and say 127.0.0.1 in `TCP_REDIRECTS`). The packets will appear as 
coming from the exit TUN interface to whatever address is configured in 
`TCP_REDIRECTS` (unlike SSH local forwarding, where the packets appear as 
coming from the loopback interface) and so they will not be forwarded to 
127.0.0.1.
-
-You can share access to this service with a peer id, shared secret and IP port 
numbler: here `gnunet-peerinfo -s`, `myhttptest` and `80` respectively.
-
-#### Connecting
-
-`gnunet-vpn` gives you ephemeral IPs to connect to if you tell it a peer id 
and a shared secret, like so:
-
-```sh
-$ gnunet-vpn -p N7R25J8ADR553EPW0NFWNCXK9V80RVCP69QJ47XMT82VKAR7Y300 -t -s 
myhttptest
-10.11.139.20
-
-# And just connect to the given IP
-$ wget 10.11.139.20
-Connecting to 10.11.139.20:80... connected.
-```
-
-(You can try it out with your browser too.)

-GNUnet Configuration
---------------------------
-### Examples
-
-```yaml
-[transport]
-OPTIONS = -L DEBUG
-PLUGINS = tcp
-#PLUGINS = udp
-
-[transport-tcp]
-OPTIONS = -L DEBUG
-BINDTO = 192.168.0.2
-```
-
-TODO: *explain what this does and add more*
-
-
-Philosophy
--------------------------
-
-GNUnet is made for an open society: It's a self-organizing network and it's 
(free software)[https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html] as in freedom. 
GNUnet puts you in control of your data. You determine which data to share with 
whom, and you're not pressured to accept compromises.
