Basic required environment:

• Python 2.7 installed
• pip installed
• virtualenv installed
• postgresql 9.4 installed

Steps to Delopy Server:
Environment Setting

• Using virtualenv to create a wrapped vitural env and activate it
• cd to the directory where requirements.txt is located.
• run: pip install -r requirements.txt in your shell to install required libraries.
• go to https://github.com/brendano/stanford_corenlp_pywrapper and follow the instruction to install the stanford-corenlp-pywrapper as well
• copy the files under the vituralenv wrapper folder, the structure of the files should looks simliar to the following structure
  • virtualenv_warpper
    • bin (virtualenv)
    • include (virtualenv)
    • lib (virtualenv)
    • app.py (server main function here)
    • config.ini (configuration for database and server setting)
    • coref_rsl (co-reference resolution code here)
    • event (event detection code here)
    • html_parser (html parser code here)
    • ner (nlp and ner improvement code here)
    • stanford-corenlp (stanford core nlp.jars files here)
    • utils (some common used functions or files here)
    • setup_db.sql (just used for db init)
    • test_files (not required for server, just for test)

Database setup

• Create a postgre database, update the database info in config.ini
• import db_setup.sql to create the schema of the database

Start the server

• run: python app.py (make sure you activate the vituralenv first before trying start the server)
• server setting can be changed in config.ini, including debug mode, host and port

Other things to notice:
-Directory '/test_files' is just some simple tests to validate the server work properly.
-If you want to use test file, you need to install 'Request' library first. Run: pip install requests in your shell.
