= Overview

The FRDCSA (https://frdcsa.org) has been under development for 20 years as of writing ([2020-03-29,02:53:26]). It is a comprehensive free/libre artificial intelligence system. Mainly it collects other A.I. systems and gets them all to talk to each other. However, it has quite a lot of original code as well, maybe over 2 million lines of code. The most important individual project is the Free Life Planner (https://github.com/aindilis/free-life-planner).

= Howto

First, ensure you have Virtualbox 6.1 installed (7.0 appears to not work with this image). For Debian 11 (Bullseye), there is a tutorial here (the tutorial installs 7.0, but instead issue the command for 6.1):

Next, clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/aindilis/frdcsa-panoply-git-20200329

and change directory into it:

cd frdcsa-panoply-git-20200329

Be sure you have at least 10144 MB of RAM free for use with VMs (otherwise edit the amount of ram in the Vagrantfile - note system will probably not be able ot run OpenCyc along with FLP if you reduce the RAM). Also make sure you have probably at least 48 GB disk space free (although machine is about 16 GB decompressed).

Then ensure you have recent versions of VirtualBox and vagrant installed, and then, in this directory run:

vagrant up --provider=virtualbox

Also, be sure to go into Virtualbox -> Devices -> Networking -> Advanced and deselect "Cable Connected" in order to turn off the networking, since the machine is liable to be out of date. We currently still need to determine whether

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

is going to break the FRDCSA systems installed.
