Appendix : Developer manual

1. Host system requirements

The project is primarily built to be run on servers. For development purposes, the project can be run on a general commercial computer, but with the following prerequisites:

● Java and Python language running capabilities with “pip”
● NLTK dataset
    o Can be downloaded by running the following commands in the python interpreter
        o import nltk
        o nltk.download()
● Django framework
    o Can be installed with the command in terminal “pip install django"
● Widget-tweaks django-module
    o Can be installed with the command in “pip install django-widget-tweaks”
● StanfordCoreNLP server
    o Should be downloaded and unzipped from https://stanfordnlp.github.io/CoreNLP/download.html
● StanfordCoreNLP python support
    o Can be installed with the command in “pip install stanfordcorenlp”

Note : It is advised to install Django,widget-tweaks & StanfordCoreNLP python support in a virtual environment so as to leave default system settings untouched.

2. How to initiate servers

The project requires 2 server initiations. One is for the main Django server and the other is for StanfordCoreNLP

● To start the StanfordCoreNLP server, the following command shall be run at the location of unzipped StanfordCoreNLP files. This should be done before the next step.
    o “ java -mx4g -cp "*" edu.stanford.nlp.pipeline.StanfordCoreNLPServer -annotators "tokenize,ssplit,pos,lemma,parse,sentiment" -port 9000 -timeout 30000 ”
● To start the Django server, the following command shall be run at the location of the project.
    o “ python qpa runserver ”
