aniketjivani / SHLDataApp

Testing deployment of toy app built with Dash.jl

dashboard2.jl contains the code to make plots for SHL data in all background
runs of CR2154. It is called in main.jl from where the app is launched.

To run the app locally:

Clone this folder and do the following:

1. Download Julia (1.7.2 for Mac):

https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/mac/x64/1.7/julia-1.7.2-mac64.tar.gz

2. Create a symbolic link for the extracted folder from the above file. for eg

ln -s /absolute path to extracted folder/bin/julia /usr/local/bin/julia

3. cd into correct folder

4. Launch julia from command line, if /usr/local/bin is in $PATH, then typing
   julia should be enough. The following welcome screen should appear:

julia>

Type pwd() to ensure we are in the right folder . If not we can do cd("/path/to/cloned/dir") from within julia.

5. Hit ] to go into Pkg mode (backspace returns to regular julia> mode)

6. activate . for activating Project environment

7. instantiate to install and resolve all dependencies.

8. Run main.jl using include("main.jl") from the Julia REPL. This will be slow the first time.

9. If all goes well, the output is:

[ Info: For saving to png with the Plotly backend PlotlyBase has to be installe\
d.
[ Info: Listening on: 0.0.0.0:8080

10. Navigate to 127.0.0.1:8080 in the browser

11. To close app, hit Ctrl + C in the Julia REPL.
