Terraforming Earth exports music parameters every second to $SAVE_DIR/music.json, serve this over a simple HTTP server, along with the music-rnn directory. The save dir can be found by this doc. On macOS it's "$HOME/Library/Application Support/LOVE/Terraforming-Earth" if running in dev mode, and "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Terraforming-Earth" if running the production build.
HOME=~
SAVE_DIR="$HOME/Library/Application Support/LOVE/Terraforming-Earth"
REPO_DIR=$(pwd)
ln -s "$REPO_DIR/music-rnn" "$SAVE_DIR/genmusic"
cd "$SAVE_DIR"
python -m SimpleHTTPServer &
open http://localhost:8000/genmusic
