Production Build / Installation

  1. Run the script bash build.sh (this will build the frontend and backend, and requires npm and cargo)
  2. The application is now in the target folder
  3. (Optional) Create a shortcut icon sh create_desktop_shortcut.sh
  4. Start the application. Use the created shortcut or run ./application-wrapper/looksyk in the target folder. You can instrument the application with the arguments --port and --graph-location to change the port and the graph location, and with --title to change the title. With the argument --devtools true the electron devtools are opened as default.
  5. The application is now available at http://localhost:8989 (or the configured port)

Running different looksyk graphs at the same time (with different ports)

You can use the create_desktop_shortcut.sh script to create a shortcut with a different port and graph location. Or you can run the application with the arguments --port, --graph-location and --title manually.
