Getting Started

Hi there! This project took me longer than expected but it was worth the grind!

To get started

1.) Pull the repo
2.) On the root directory of the project run the two following commands on seperate terminal:
- npm run soheil-backend
- npm run soheil-frontend
3.) see the magic on the browser (you can also see what it should look like over here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_MaK7l1BOo&ab_channel=NathanTablang])

More info on code

• For my frontend code, it'll be in my /pages folder
• For my backend code it'll be in my /server folder
• I could've made things waay easier for me by using nodejs as my backend that way installing the entire program would bear no issues... however I was thinking that maybe we as a team would use python for our frontend-backend interfaces.

Possible issues

• You might run over some python installation issues... Of all the things that I did, simply deplying the app as a web app so you can see it with no hassle took me two days. Eventually I just gave up and decided I'll just hand over the code with a getting started guide. For some reason there's something going on with my dependencies: [cv2 (which is opencv-python when installed), scipy, scikit-image, numpy, and/or Pillow]
  • Depending on what issue you might have when you run npm run soheil-backend you might have to run npm uninstall -y <dependency_name> (type w/o the brackets) then install it back again with npm install <dependency_name> (type w/o the brackets)
• I really would like to make sure that this thing works as meshing in python with my javascript is the only thing that's rocky. If ever there's a circumstance that I would need to resolve, feel free to contact me at 301-377-3076. I also live in the UMD campus, brief mins away from IRB.
