1.

Install Necessary Libraries


To run the programs, you will need to install a few necessary libraries and
tools. Make sure you have Python installed, as well as the following libraries:

pip install paho-mqtt ssl

2. Configure Mosquitto

 Edit the mosquitto.conf file to set the correct paths for keyfile, certfile,
and cafile according to your certificates.

 Open the Win64 OpenSSL Command Prompt on your local machine


and navigate to the Mosquitto project directory using the command:

cd C:\Users\nipun\OneDrive\Documents\MosquittoProject\Pass

 Restart the Mosquitto configuration file with the following command:

mosquitto -v -c "C:\Users\nipun\OneDrive\Documents\MosquittoProject\
Pass\mosquitto.conf"

After this step, the MQTT connection using mqttx should be successful.

3. Run the Python Programs

 Publisher Program
Open a terminal, navigate to the directory containing the Python
scripts, and run the publisher program by typing:

py publisher.py

 Subscriber Program
In a separate terminal, run the subscriber program by typing:

py subscriber.py

 Monitoring Interface
To monitor messages, open another terminal and run the monitoring
interface using:

py mqttx.py

 Message Generator
Finally, open a new terminal to run the message generation and
publication program:

py mqttx_publisher.py
This will allow you to generate and publish messages to the desired topics by
selecting them in the interface.

4. Details about third-part libraries

 paho-mqtt: A Python MQTT client library to communicate with the


Mosquitto server. Install using:

pip install paho-mqtt
