Socrates – A Virtual Operating System Dedicated to Privacy and Freedom of Speech

Introduction

Socrates is a virtual operating system designed to provide a secure, cross-platform, speech-friendly, and private digital ecosystem. Initiated in response to escalating privacy intrusions from governments and tech oligopolies, Socrates offers a comprehensive solution that transcends traditional privacy tools like incognito mode, providing a robust alternative for secure digital interaction.

Installation

To get going quickly:

Install Module Dependencies

  • Ensure the _.setup.sh file is executable, run chmod +x _.setup.sh
  • Open your terminal and run ./_.setup.sh

Compile and Run

  • (OS X): Navigate to the root project directory, and run chmd +x _.command and then double click _.command (may not work if command is located within your user directory)
  • (Windows): Double click _.bat. (recommend using OS X, as Windows support is not regularly tested/updated)

Access the web version here: http://localhost:800/assistant

Note

Socrates is in Alpha, and therefore should only be used for development purposes at this stage.

Developer Note

Socrates currently allows only one user account per installation. In order to register a second time, "/Socrates" in your user directory will need to be cleared (append &clear to the url for the web version).

License

Socrates is released under the Business Source License 1.1, which will transition to a more permissive license after a predefined period. See LICENSE for more details.
