README.md

Reactive Search

This work-in-progress represents a prototype semantic search 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 this system by referring to the overview presentation. The prototype is open-source and those who are interested are encouraged to clone the project and tinker with it. You may also access a live snapshot of the prototype on my server.

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. If you run into any problems, let me know.

System Dependencies

Execute the command apt-get install package_name to install the packages listed below (must be root).

mysql-server
nodejs-legacy
nodejs
npm

In addition to these packages, you will need to have a recent version of the Go compiler installed on your system to build and execute the server code. The easiest way to get the latest version is to use the godeb tool to install it for you. After downloading the appropriate binary package, execute the ./godeb install command to do this.

Global Node.js Dependencies

Execute the command npm install -g package_name to install the packages listed below (must be root).

bower

Database Initialization

Execute ./db/init.sh to create the required database and associated user. You will be prompted for the mysql root password; if you do not have one configured you may proceed by inputting an empty string.
Load the initial data tables by running ./db/load.sh. You may perform this step again at a later time if you wish to reset the contents of the database to their original state.

Client and Server Initialization

From the static directory, execute the command bower install.
From the base directory, build the server with the command go build.
From the base directory, launch the server by launching the server executable.
You should now be able to access the web application at localhost:8080.
