The acab universe constists of some tools to controll and display the matrix.

• gigargoyle, Control a moodlamp matrix using a TCP socket
• acabspool
• Webinterface (acabed)
• puertoplayer

You don't have access to the matrix gigargoyle could be started with '–pretend' argument.

• start the server

./gigargoyle -f -p –pidfile=./test.pid –logfile=./test.log

• start puertoplayer, so you can see the matrix

./puertoplayer –localhost

• spool something new with simpleclient

git misssing?

sudo apt-get install git-core
