Simulation Monitor

Simulation Monitor is a web-based monitoring tool to be used for any NExSyS simulation. For background on the project see here (NOTE that the screenshots in the presentation are out of date but the information is correct). The application uses Golang for its back-end and React for its front-end. The only tools that you will need to get it running are Trick (of course), Golang, Nodejs, and npm.

Terminal Commands

1. Install NodeJs from NodeJs Official Page which should come bundled with npm if you do not have it already.
2. Install Go from Golang Official Page.
3. Open Terminal
4. Go to your Go workspace directory
5. Clone the repository. Filepath should be: ~/{Your Go Workspace}/src/
6. cd into the project directory
7. Run in terminal: npm install to install all dependencies.
8. You can now either run go run server.go address:port then npm start so that you can view live changes quickly in-browser or you can cd into /src and run npm run build to create an optimized version of the project. To view the optimized version run go run server.go address:port and navigate to the specific address and port that you provided in a web browser.
9. NOTE that you must change the socket variable on line 585 of ~/{Your Go Workspace}/src/nexsysSimMonitor/src/variables/Variables.jsx to reflect the address and port that you specified for the server.
