# WAI

The `wai` command line, and the reference software `wai dev` runs on your own machine. All
of it is open source under Apache-2.0, built from the open-standards repository
(`wai/quickstart/build.sh`).

| File | What it is |
|---|---|
| `bin/wai` | The command line: `hello`, `create`, `dev`, `verify`, and the envelope tools (`inspect`, `wrap`, `unwrap`, `encode`, `decode` for the mandatory floor, `capabilities`) |
| `bin/wai-relay` | The relay a room's media goes through: MOQT over QUIC, WebTransport and WebSocket |
| `bin/wai-room` | The room service: a room's keys, its grants, its clock |
| `bin/wai-remote-host` | A remote desktop room's host agent |
| `bin/wai-pack` | The packager: a title as WAI objects, HTTP playlists and a MoQ catalog |
| `share/wai/web/` | The room client a browser loads: its pages and their WebAssembly |

## Start

```sh
wai hello                                   # WAI's four steps on a sample: name, dispatch, rebuild, receipt
wai create my-room --template video-room    # a video room in one page
cd my-room
wai dev                                     # the relay, the room service and your page, on 127.0.0.1:8080
wai verify ../wai-hello                     # the receipts hello wrote, checked offline
```

`wai create --list` names every template. `wai dev --help` gives its options. Nothing here
needs an account, and nothing is sent off your machine.

Keep `bin/` and `share/` side by side: `wai dev` finds the relay, the room service and the
room client beside itself.
