ExerciseCheck is a remote monitoring and evaluation platform for home base physical therapy.
Note: Because this application uses the Kinect V2, a Windows machine is necessary.
Download MongoDB. Community Edition is enough for running the application. Make sure to add MongoDB to your PATH variables.
Download the driver from Microsoft: Download Link.
Make sure to follow the installation instructions on the website.
Nodejs should be installed. Run npm install under \anchor and \client directory in your local copy of this directory.
To run the application, first create a directory for mongoDB to store data. CD into the main electron-enabled-app directory and create a folder. Then use the command:
$ mongod --dbpath=[folder_name]\
To start the server, first cd into the \anchor directory. If this is your first time running the server, run the following command first to set up a root user for the application, which can be used to manage all other user accounts: $ node first-time-setup.js. Then:
$ npm start
To use the electron app, cd into the \client directory. Then:
$ npm start
ExerciseCheck uses Anchor as its backend. To learn more about Anchor, click here.
-
\anchor - directory holding most of the application's functionality.
- \anchor\api - RESTful APIs
- \anchor\models - mongo database models
- \anchor\web - handlebars templates, css, scripts, routes, etc.
-
\client - directory for electron app & some Kinect-related functions
- Note: It is possible to run ExerciseCheck in the browser by simply starting the Anchor server, however the Kinect will not work because the relevant code requires both Anchor and the Electron app.
