How do you get the new visualiser?

The docs show a nice screenshot: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spotify/luigi/master/doc/visualiser_front_page.png

But how do you enable it? My dashboard is still the boring white one. I'm using Luigi version 2.1.1.

• Someone said "The theme can be set with the visualizer_theme option as either d3, svg or lte." (New theme for luigi visualiser #1086 (comment)) but I don't know where to set it. Is it in config.cfg? What section should it be under?
• I tried going to http://192.168.10.99:8082/static/visualiser/index.lte.html but it says 404: Not Found.
• I tried searching the documentation for "theme" and "visualiser" (http://luigi.readthedocs.org/en/stable/search.html?q=theme&check_keywords=yes&area=default#) but nothing came up.
• Some places use "visualizer" and some places use "visualiser" which makes things confusing.

Thanks

That's old information. Does not exist anymore.

Some places use "visualizer" and some places use "visualiser" which makes things confusing.

D'oh, do you mind sending a PR consolidating the docs? :)

To be honest. I think you're simply running old code somewhere. Make sure there's no PYTHONPATH, virtualenv, etc. etc., also remember that server and client run independently.

Yes, it looks like there was indeed old code. I had used pip to update an old version to the new version. I guess it didn't update everything. For instance, the following seemed to be old:
/usr/local/bin/luigi
/usr/local/bin/luigid

So, I uninstalled (pip uninstall luigi), removed the luigi* scripts in /usr/local/bin, cloned from the luigi git repo, and ran python setup.py develop. Now it works great and has the new visualiser.

Thanks for your help.
