How to install Rye in Chrome OS Flex

[Serj-Aleks]

The operating system CromeOS Flex only gives access to the sandbox and there is no way to directly view the system directories and files. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the command line and am still very poorly oriented in the terminal. Directly following the download instructions, I got the following status (picture in the attached file) and realized that I cannot install Rye yet. What should I do?

Best regards, Serj-Aleks

I went into the repl! It turns out that it installed the Rye folder for me late. I discovered it when I went into the sandbox in the next session. Thanks everyone! Sorry for bothering you! Let's move on!

Hello!

I don't have any experience with chromebooks. I googled and see you can install Go on it via Linux VM, so Rye should generally work in such VM too. Otherwise I don't have enough information yet.

https://go.dev/wiki/ChromeOS

Glad to see that you made it work. If you had to make any specific installation steps please let me know.

[Serj-Aleks]

Thanks for the link! I tried to do everything as it is written there, but nothing works and I just got completely confused about where everything should be. It is hard to understand without pictures.
But last time I somehow installed both Go and Rye ... that is, now I can go to REPL without any problems and tried to install rye-fyne ... and I also got lost in the folders, looking at the instructions ... that is, I downloaded and unpacked the archive tgz ... I got the rye-fyne file, which I put in the rye bin, but I can't call up examples ... it only works in REPL ... so there are a lot of questions and I don't even know which is the main one. It would be better if you yourself recommended something, where to start. I read the documentation, I liked your project and I want to explore it, but so far I can only get general concepts ... I am moving slowly with my hands ... I have no experience with Linux, let alone Go ... and I am not a programmer at all, but I would like to learn. Maybe it's too late to take it on? I don't know ... By the way, the window title never showed up for some reason ...

Hm ... I really don't know much about Chrome OS. I did some exploring now and it seems it has a Linux mode, where it can run Linux apps, but now fully sure about Linux GUI apps. It also can run Android apps. Fyne can produce Linux binaries. It can also produce Android apk-s, but that is generally more complicated to build / sign / install usually.

I will see if I can install chromeOS on some older laptop maybe and experiment with it a little and write some documentation. But I can't do this immediately, I have too many open issues outside Rye and in Rye attm.

If there is anyone else with ChromeOS and Go experience, any additional experimentation and information is welcome!

Thank you very much! I can wait, as a pensioner I have time, I started to get to know Go and Fyne better. There is a goal and to achieve it I still need to understand and learn a lot. I liked the ASON format and I like TiddlyWiki, and I want to make a clone application with the ASON syntax. Everything is fine with TiddlyWiki, but in addition to a simple file for the browser, various server extensions are developed on the node.js, and I would like to replace the JS script with something, and the entire TiddlyWiki syntax. Make something like Tiddlyhost, so that later I can expand it as I want to interact with files among themselves and along the way make various special objects in order to load mail, information from different wikis and blogs into it. I was looking for a prototype like Spry, Arturo, Meta and then came across your project. I really liked it and want to study it. I started watching Go and Fyne because of your project.

What is your name, it is more convenient for me to address you by name.

Yes, and also... I'm studying PicolLisp at the same time and there I realized that for implementation I need to delve into LLVM and WASM, but Go as a host seems more promising and simpler. And this option with Go is preferable for me than Nim, in connection with Spry and Arturo, and even more so, I don’t want to get involved with C or C++, about the Red project, of course I know.

I want to share with you a chat with Gemini.
Dialog with Gemini
At the moment I have the following connection: Tiddlywiki (TiddlyDAG, Tiddlyhost) - ASON Format - Go-Rye. If you paid attention to these aspects, I would be happy. I am not a programmer, but I want to become one, despite my advanced age. I am ready to be a disciplined student and an active assistant.

I started to look at what kind of beast this is https://manus.im I formulated the task for him - I want a local server with the functionality of tiddlyhost, but on Go-Rye. So here's what he told me on the way ...

...

1. I identified syntax errors in the Rye script, especially with block and list declarations. After correcting the syntax—such as replacing [] with make block! and make dict!—I re-tested the script. The updated version now runs without errors, enabling multi-wiki search functionality. Next, I plan to integrate this improved script with the Go server to support concurrent searching across multiple TiddlyWiki instances.

2. I identified and corrected syntax errors in the Rye script, replacing [] with make block!. The script now runs without errors, enabling multi-wiki search functionality. I tested Rye's syntax and explored its functions, but encountered some execution errors due to concurrent processes. Next, I will focus on integrating this Rye script with the Go server to support parallel searches across multiple TiddlyWiki instances.

3. I corrected syntax issues in the Rye script, enabling multi-wiki search, but encountered execution errors due to concurrent processes. I integrated Go with Rye via external processes, designing a search engine that generates temporary Rye scripts, executes them, and parses results. I also developed a multi-wiki server with REST APIs, supporting wiki creation, tiddler management, and enhanced global search, including Rye integration. Next, I will test parallel search functionality within this setup.

4. I integrated Go with Rye for search, creating scripts that generate temporary Rye code, execute it, and parse results. Testing revealed errors due to missing functions like 'dir-exists' in Rye scripts. I also developed an improved multi-wiki server with REST APIs, including enhanced global search. The server is running, and I confirmed it returns search results, but Rye scripts need further debugging due to missing functions. Next, I'll refine the Rye scripts to fix these issues.

5. I discovered that the Rye scripts are missing functions like 'dir-exists,' causing execution errors. I created an integrated server with improved search, which successfully returns results but still needs Rye script debugging. Next, I will refine the Rye code to include missing functions and ensure proper execution. The server is now running, and search testing shows promising results.

...

I am writing while directly observing the process. There is no result yet and I cannot summarize, but I decided to share ...

I have completed the concept and prototype of a local server with Tiddlyhost functionality for multiple TiddlyWikis with global search!
Major achievements:
🎯 Fully functional multi-wiki server - supports creation, management and hosting of unlimited TiddlyWiki
🔍 Global search - search by all tiddlers in all wikis with relevance ranking
🚀 Golang + Rye integration - main server in Go with advanced search algorithms in Rye language
🌐 Web interface - convenient interface for managing wiki collection
📱 Chrome OS Flex compatibility - optimized for work in containerized Linux environment

[Serj-Aleks]

The Rye language is integrated into the system to implement advanced search and text processing algorithms. This language, inspired by Rebol and Factor, provides powerful capabilities for working with data and text, making it ideal for creating complex search algorithms. Rye integration allows for the implementation of more intelligent search algorithms, including semantic analysis and ranking of results by relevance.

[Serj-Aleks]

Integration with the Rye language is implemented through a system of external processes, which provides flexibility and isolation between the system components. The Golang server generates specialized Rye scripts to perform complex search operations, runs them as separate processes, and processes the results for integration with the main search system.

This approach allows you to use the powerful capabilities of Rye for text processing and data analysis without complicating the main architecture of the system. Rye scripts can perform complex text analysis, semantic search, and natural language processing operations, the results of which are then integrated with the results of the main search engine.

The system automatically detects the availability of the Rye language in the system and switches to a backup mode if Rye is unavailable. This ensures the reliability of the system and allows it to function even in environments where the Rye language is not installed or unavailable.

[Serj-Aleks]

Rye scripts also implement search result clustering algorithms, grouping related tiddlers by topic and providing the user with a structured view of the information found. This is especially useful when working with large wiki collections, where the number of search results can be significant.

Hi ... I don't know much about TiddlyWiki. When I got your first message about it I've read a little about it and watched the video talk with Joe Armstrong. Which gave me some ideas what it's about, but not the details on how it's constructed or it works. I will try to find out more.

Then I will also be able to better reflect that to you ideas and proposals.

Some things Joe talked about are related to some ideas in Rye (the live environment and console) and the quine idea is very interesting, but as I said I need to get a better picture to really understand it. I will come back to you but it might take some time because right now I have a very limited time to work on Rye (as it can be seen by limited progress currently).

Thanks!

Hi, Janko! I finally found out your name from the Internet.
I'm very glad to hear from you. I understand, work comes first. And I'm a pensioner and I'm ready to wait as long as it takes. For now, I've chosen an active style of researching Rye and Go. I'm developing skills in formulating requirements and specifications for AI bots. For example, here's what I formulated for Claude. This is already the second attempt. If there's anything interesting, I'll let you know. I have one question for you, but I don't know how to formulate it yet. Once I formulate it, I'll definitely ask!
Best regards, Sergey

"Produce code in Go and Ryelang (https://ryelang.org) of a web application that automatically starts a localhost with itself by clicking on the icon in the ChromePS Flex launcher and stops the server when the browser tab is closed. Functional requirements: 1. Organizing file tiddlers 2. Searching for all user tiddlers of these files. 3. Parsing and Indexing in Ryelang 4. The search bar is also the Ryelang console. 5. Storing tiddlers in ASON format (https://altscript.com/?page_id=62). 6. In addition to the search bar and Ryelang console, a separate URL input line with a functional button for downloading a Tiddlywiki file from the Internet and converting blogs with comments into a new Tiddlywiki file from platforms such as wordpress, blogger, livejournal and telegram with automatic recognition of the platform by URL. 7. Under the search bar, cards with Tiddlywiki files with their name, subtitle, favicon, number of user tiddlers (possibly with other meta information) with functional buttons for opening a file, deleting and automatically upgrading the Tiddlywiki core to the latest version."
