You can simulate a one-sided dialogue with this component. It's main purpose is to introduce the story of the exercise and the directives of each step in order to solve it, and to help the user with context-dependent hints when he/she seems to struggle to overcome a difficulty. To narrate events in a more natural speaking pace, you can queue messages and let the framework type it out according to the currently set *WPM*.

To narrate events in a more natural pace, you can also queue a list of messages and let the framework "type them" according to the currently set *WPM* (words-per-minute).

The console is typically used for displaying log and error messages. For instance, you may run a web server, and you would like to show the users the incoming requests, then you just have to instantiate a *ProcessLogHandler* along with a *ConsoleLogsHandler*, and start your process as a supervisor task. Besides that, you can write any kind of text manually, like unit test results.

The console is typically used for displaying (potentially live) logs and/or error messages. For instance, you may wish to run a web server, and you would like to display all incoming requests in real time. You could just instantiate a *ProcessLogHandler* along with a *ConsoleLogsHandler* in `event_handler_main`, and start your process as a supervisor program. This would instruct the framework to print the logs of your program to the console in real time (it uses inotify in the background). Besides that, you can use it to write any kind of text manually, like unit test results.

First of all, make sure that you have every [dependency](https://github.com/avatao-content/baseimage-tutorial-framework/wiki/Setting-up-a-development-environment) installed. However, if you believe that you are ready to finally get started, here are our recommended steps:
|
||||
1. Clone the [test-tutorial-framework](https://github.com/avatao-content/test-tutorial-framework) repository, take a closer look at it contents, then attempt to [run](https://github.com/avatao-content/baseimage-tutorial-framework/wiki/tfw.sh-script) it.
|
||||
2. Try to replace the web service first with your own. If you don't need it, or you wish to run something else, just delete the `solvable/src/webservice` directory and copy your code somewhere in its parents directory. You also have to modify the supervisor configuration to fit your needs: `solvable/supervisor/webservice.conf`. It's important for your server to behave well behind a reverse proxy, requests will be sent to `/webservice/your_endpoint`.
|
||||
3. Let's fix that `frontend_config.yaml` to suit your needs. Rewrite the `iframeUrl` property to an empty string if you don't need it, compose the layouts, etc.
|
||||
4. There must be a couple of unused event handlers in the `event_handler_main.py`, you should just delete their instantiation and import, then rewrite the init parameters in the remaining ones where necessary.
|
||||
4. The next step is to start writing an **FSM**. You either use the Python-based *LinearFSM* and *FSMBase* classes that utilize the `transitions` module, or you just compile it into a *YAML* file like the `test_fsm.yml` example.
|
||||
5. Then you need to put the triggers after the respective checks, and formulate bot messages to guide the user in each step.

If you don't need it, or you wish to run something else, just delete the `solvable/src/webservice` directory and copy your code somewhere in its parents directory.

|
||||
4. At this point there should be a couple of unused event handlers defined in `event_handler_main.py`. You should just delete their instantiations and imports, then rewrite the constructor parameters in the remaining ones where you deem necessary.

4. The next step is to create an **FSM**. You either use the Python-based *LinearFSM* and *FSMBase* classes that utilize the `transitions` Python module, or you just compile it into a *YAML* file like the `test_fsm.yml` example.
|
||||
5. You need to put the triggers after the respective checks, and formulate bot messages to guide the user through each step.
|
||||
6. When everything is ready, you can start to check your tutorial with the `check_format.py` script in the `challenge-toolbox` repository in order to be able to upload it to the platform.
|
||||
7. After you get zero errors, you can finally share it by creating a repository through the dashboard at https://platform.avatao.com, then push your solution to a `staging` branch and open a pull request, and then comes our part to make it available.
