AMRDC Data Visualizer Synthesis

Continued development of the amrdcdata-visualizer web app by Matthew Noojin.

Demonstration: https://amrc.ssec.wisc.edu/ograham/visualizer-synthesis/

Setup

As CGI on Apache

Clone

Clone this repository to a directory outside of the Apache document root.

On amrc, it's cloned to ~ograham/visualizer-synthesis/.

Install virtual environment

Run virtualenv venv in the project directory to create the virtual environment venv.

virtualenv can be installed with pip3 install virtualenv.

Activate venv and run pip install -r requirements.txt.

To activate venv with bash or zsh, run . ./venv/bin/activate.

Link

Create a symbolic link, with the desired path under the document root, to the htdocs directory in this repository. The Apache configuration will have to allow such links outside of the document root, as well as all rules in htdocs/.htaccess.

On amrc, the web path is /ograham/visualizer-synthesis/ and the document root is /data/web/amrc/htdocs, so the linking command is ln -sT ~ograham/visualizer-synthesis/htdocs /data/web/amrc/htdocs/ograham/visualizer-synthesis.

As a Heroku app

This repository is also ready to go as a Heroku Python app.
