Softpack Web provides the graphical user interface, designed using the Tokyo React Template, for those services which are provided by softpack: multi-user software environment sharing, management and creation!
At the time of writing - whilst this app is still undergoing development - this app must be started through three commands, which are to be ran from inside the directory of the cloned version of this repository.
git checkout develop- this makes sure you are in the correct branch.npm install- this will install all the necessary packages and dependencies for Softpack Web.npm run dev- this will compile and start the app (in development mode).
If the core is running on a port other than the default (8000), configure this
by setting the environment variable $VITE_CORE_PORT. You can do this
persistently by creating a file called .env.local with the contents
VITE_CORE_PORT=1234, for example. See the Vite
documentation for details.
Then, once the above steps are complete, the user must also start the server - SoftPack Core - this is what the React App will communicate with. This is done by,
- Git clone
https://github.com/wtsi-hgi/softpack-core.git poetry install- this will install all the necessary packages and dependencies for Softpack Core.softpack-core service run- this will compile and start the server.
Once complete, you should be able to use the app and explore the range of features which Softpack Web has to offer!
