Installation

Warning

This page has been automatically generated as has not yet been reviewed by the authors of dasf-exb-reference!

To install the dasf-exb-reference package, we recommend that you install it from PyPi via

pip install dasf-exb-reference

Or install it directly from the source code repository on Gitlab via:

pip install git+https://codebase.helmholtz.cloud/dasf/demos/dasf-exb-reference.git

The latter should however only be done if you want to access the development versions.

Installation for development

Please head over to our contributing guide <contributing>{.interpreted-text role=”ref”} for installation instruction for development in case you want to contribute back to this repository.

To setup and test the DASF functionality of this package locally, you need to run a DASF message broker. Everything for this is contained in the django folder of the source code.

Manual DASF setup

Setup the message broker

To manually setup a message broker and connect a backend module, run:

# create a virtual environment for development (note, on windows, you need
# to run these venv-install commands from the Makefile manually, or use the WSL)
make venv-install
source venv/bin/activate

# setup and run the django message broker
cd django
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py dasf_topic -n experience-builder-demo --anonymous
python manage.py runserver

This will create a local file at django/db.sqlite3 with the database and spawn a server that listens to http://localhost:8000.

Connect a backend module

To connect a backend module to the message broker, run

python -m dasf_exb.backend --websocket-url ws://localhost:8000/ws --topic experience-builder-demo listen

DASF setup via docker compose

If you have docker or podman available, you can also setup a development environment via the docker-compose.dev.yml file in the source code repository.

  1. Build the images

    docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml build
    
  2. start the message broker and the backend module

    docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up
