Client Setup
The following repository tool function creates a directory
structure that a client downloading new software using TUF (via tuf/client/updater.py)
expects. The root.json metadata file must exist, and also the directories that hold
the metadata files downloaded from a repository. Software updaters integrating with
TUF may use this directory to store TUF updates saved on the client side.
>>> from tuf.repository_tool import *
>>> create_tuf_client_directory("/path/to/repository/", "/path/to/client/")
create_tuf_client_directory() moves metadata from /path/to/repository/metadata
to /path/to/client/. The repository in /path/to/repository/ may be the repository
example created in the repository tool README.
Test TUF Locally
Run the local TUF repository server.
$ cd "/path/to/repository/"; python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8001
Retrieve targets from the TUF repository and save them to /path/to/client/. The
basic_client.py module is available in tuf/client/.
In a different command-line prompt . . .
$ cd "/path/to/client/"
$ ls
metadata/
$ basic_client.py --repo http://localhost:8001
$ ls . targets/ targets/django/
.:
metadata targets tuf.log
targets/:
django file1.txt file2.txt
