Restaurant Search

This work-in-progress represents a prototype semantic search web application that I'm developing as part of my master's thesis at Keio University. You can get a better understanding of the goals of my research by referring to the overview presentation.

This installation guide is designed with Ubuntu-based distributions in mind (I'm using Linux Mint for development), but I expect it to be trivial to get this application running on other flavors of Linux.

Installation

1. Install the system dependencies:

   # apt-get install nodejs-legacy nodejs npm
   

2. Install the Node dependencies:

   # npm install -g bower
   

3. Install the Go tool chain:

   $ wget https://godeb.s3.amazonaws.com/godeb-amd64.tar.gz
   $ tar xzvf godeb-amd64.tar.gz
   # ./godeb install
   

4. Set the GOPATH environment variable (read the docs).

5. Install the search application:

   $ go get github.com/FooSoft/search
   

6. Install the client libraries (from the search/static directory):

   $ bower install
   

7. Build and start the server (from the search/cmd directory):

   $ go build
   $ ./cmd
   

8. Access the web application at localhost:8080.
