# UDP Server - netstar-categorizer

This project is a UDP server built with Node.js that processes incoming messages and returns categorized NetStar results in Zvelo pattern.

## Prerequisites

- Node.js (v12.x or higher recommended)
- npm (v6.x or higher recommended)
- NetStar inCompass SDK

## InCompass SDK Setup

1. The inCompass SDK requires Boost C++ Libraries. To install the libraries, run:

```
apt-get install libboost-all-dev
```

2. To install the inCompass SDK, run:

```
dpkg -i gcf1-global_{SDK Version}_deb{Debian Version}-amd64.deb
```

3. To daemonize the service, run:

```
cp -p /usr/local/gcf1/sbin/gcf1 /etc/init.d/
insserv gcf1
```

4. Or, depending on the Debian version, run:

```
 systemctl enable gcf1
```

## UDP Server Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   ```bash
   git clone <repository-url>
   cd <repository-directory>
   ```

2. Install the dependencies:

  ```bash
  npm install
  ```

3. Create a .env file in the root of the project and add your environment variables. At a minimum, you should specify the PORT:

  ```
  cp .env.example .env
  PORT=3000
  ```

## Running the Server

To start the UDP server, use the following command:

  ```
  npm start
  ```
  This will run the server and bind it to the port specified in your .env file.
