The Microsetta participant facing user interface
Create a new conda environment containing flask and other necessary packages:
conda create --yes -n microsetta-interface python=3.7
conda install --yes -n microsetta-interface --file ci/conda_requirements.txt
conda activate microsetta-interface
pip install -r ci/pip_requirements.txt
Then install the microsetta-interface in editable mode:
pip install -e .
In the activated conda environment, start the microservice using flask's built-in server by running, e.g.,
python microsetta_interface/server.py
which will start the server on http://localhost:8083. Note that this usage is suitable for development ONLY--real use of the service would require a production-level server.
In order for the interface to be functional, it needs to be able to communicate
with an instance of microsetta_private_api. Details for installing and
running the private API can be found
here.
