Phant is No Longer in Operation
Unfortunately Phant, our data-streaming service, is no longer in service and has been discontinued. The system has reached capacity and, like a less-adventurous Cassini, has plunged conclusively into a fiery and permanent retirement. There are several other maker-friendly, data-streaming services and/or IoT platforms available as alternatives. The three we recommend are Blynk, ThingSpeak, and Cayenne. You can read our blog post on the topic for an overview and helpful links for each platform.
All secondary SparkFun repositories related to Phant have been archived and pulled in as a subtree in the main Phant GitHub repository.
phant is a modular logging tool developed by SparkFun Electronics for collecting data from the Internet of Things. phant is the open source software that powers data.sparkfun.com.

Getting Started
Vagrant
Vagrant is a headless virtual machine that can be run on many different systems.
Vagrant is a safe and easy way to run phant without the need to greatly
modify your current system
(see Why Vagrant?).
Vagrant Setup:
- Install VirtualBox
- Install Vagrant
- Install Git
git clone https://github.com/sparkfun/phant.gitcd phant && vagrant up --provisionphantis now available via http on port 8080 and telnet via port 8081
To restart phant use vagrant provision from inside the phant directory.
To stop the vagrant virtual machine use vagrant halt from inside the
phant directory.
To restart vagrant use vagrant up --provision from inside the phant
directory.
Local
phant is a npm package, and requires the latest version of node.js.
Once you have node.js installed, you can install phant by running npm install -g phant from your favorite terminal.
Using the -g (global) flag will make the phant executable available in your PATH.
Now you can start phant:
$ phant
phant http server running on port 8080
phant telnet server running on port 8081
This launches a telnet server for stream creation, and a http server for data input & output. You can now open a separate window, and you should be able to create a stream by connecting to the local telnet server.
$ telnet localhost 8081
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
