GUI not showing
fepegar opened this issue · comments
Hi! This project looks great, but I haven't been able to make things work. I've tried showing a data frame on a notebook, as in the tutorials/demos, and also the command mk demo tutorial-image-gallery --copy. In both cases (the notebook and the browser), all I see is an image with the meerkat logo, not the data frame or the gallery that I was expecting.
Might I be doing something obviously wrong?
@fepegar thanks for the note! could you share a few specifics about your setup:
- OS
- if you are using windows, you may have to use the windows subsystem for linux
- Is the program running on remote or local machine?
- is there any error on the browser console? on chrome you can access this via
View -> Developer -> Javascript Console
Possible solutions
Remote machines require port forwarding
If you are using a remote machine, you'll need to forward the frontend and api ports (8000 and 5000 by default)
Change the api/frontend ports
you can change the ports you are forwarding with mk demo tutorial-image-gallery --api-port XXXX --frontend-port XXXX
Hi, @ad12. Thanks for your quick response. I was trying on Linux, remotely. I did forward the ports: I guess that's why I could see the logo.
I did quickly check the browser console and I think something was off. Let me confirm that and also try things locally.
The browser issue was my mistake: I was going to http://localhost:8001/ instead of http://localhost:8001/?id=gallery.
I'll try the notebook again. I guess I don't need to forward ports for that, right?
You will need to forward the api/frontend ports from the notebook as well. By default the ports are 5000 and 8000
All working now after forwarding everything. Thanks, @ad12!
