Web Application Demo

View the deployed WebApp on Heroku.

Installation : Setting up the Application Locally

• Dependencies:
  • Run the command pip install -r TextGenReq.txt on your cmd/python terminal.
  • It is highly recommended to create a new Virtual Environment first before running the above commands. The instructions for doing the same is provided below.
• Deployment:
  • Use Streamlit App : streamlit run TextGenApp.py
• If there is no popup window opening in the browser you can paste the following address : http://localhost:8501/.

Creating Virtual Environments for Python Development in Visual Studio Code for this Project

A Guide to Creating Virtual Environments into Python and Using them Effectively.

Clone the Text Sentiment Analysis Repo :

Head over to our github repository ,fork the repo to your github account & clone the repository into your local machine.

Initial Setup

Open CMD/PowerShell from the VSCode Terminal :

It should display an output like the following :

CMD

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.1198] (c) 2019 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

or

Powershell

Windows PowerShell Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Try the new cross-platform PowerShell https://aka.ms/pscore6

Check for the python version you're running :

C:\Users\Tannistha Pal\Documents\GitHub\TextGeneration>python --version Python 3.9.0

Note : You must install Python version 3.7.6 for using this project.

Check for the Python Packaging Index (Pypi) version you're running :

C:\Users\Tannistha Pal\Documents\GitHub\TextGeneration>pip --version pip 20.2.3 from c:\users\tannistha pal\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.9)

Install the virtualenv module from pip (install it globally):

C:\Users\Tannistha Pal\Documents\GitHub\TextGeneration>pip install virtualenv

Create a project environment directory with YourAwesomeProjectNameEnvironment :

C:\Users\Tannistha Pal\Documents\GitHub\TextGeneration>mkdir TextGenEnv

Create a new (empty) virtual environment in YourAwesomeProjectNameEnvironment :

C:\Users\Tannistha Pal\Documents\GitHub\TextGeneration>virtualenv TextGenEnv

Users for other python versions may Install Python 3.7.6 first and then run the following command to choose the correct python interpreter with the correct path :

virtualenv --python=python3.7.6 TextGen

Note : If you have problems with this step, try followng the debugging options provided below.

Enter into the newly created (empty) virtual environment in YourAwesomeProjectNameEnvironment : C:\Users\Tannistha Pal\Documents\GitHub\TextGeneration>TextGenEnv\Scripts\activate

You will notice a (YourAwesomeProjectNameEnvironment) appearing in the Command Line Interface : (TextGenEnv) C:\Users\Tannistha Pal\Documents\GitHub\TextGeneration>

Wohoooo! You're now in your virtual environment.

Install Dependencies :

Okay Great! We've got our virtualenv setup, but it's empty right now. Lets install some modules into it.

For this we will be needing a .txt file noting all the dependency requirements for a project under the project directory.

This file contains packages in the following naming fashion and can be obtained using

pip freeze > requirements.txt

or using

conda list --explicit > reqs.txt

When you've obtained the requirements file, do the following with your Environment Activated : (TextGenEnv) C:\Users\Tannistha Pal\Documents\GitHub\TextGeneration>pip install -r TextGenReq.txt

Note : If you have problems with this step, try installing Microsoft C++ Build Tools.

You are now happy to go forth coding and running your app with : streamlit run TextGenApp.py
