source env/bin/activate
Install requirements in python environment
pip install -r requirements.txt
Open a terminal and do
ros (in case ros is not sourced when opening the terminal)
roscore

cd Rosbag-Analyser/
source env/bin/activate
cd src/
python3 app.py
After this, you should see a message in terminal saying Failed to load Python extension for LZ4 support. LZ4 compression will not be available.. This means that the application is running properly.
A local host has been created at http://127.0.0.1:5000/. Go to that page in your browser and start using the application.
