Description how to reproduce the issue

ExaGO version

System and environment details
This issue is related to visualization running on host. It should run on any Linux or MacOS (CPU) platform.
Additional information
Launcher's GUI defines fairly well how user-facing functionality should look like.
Proposed solution
The visualizer should be launched from an installed launcher. All relevant paths should be configured by CMake in launcher/config.yaml file. Currently the launcher calls visualization from the source directory. Having everything to run from the installation directory will likely require moving Python and JavaScript files there and replacing relative paths in those files with absolute paths configured by CMake.
