Brief description

The open-source python web app has been developed using Dash plotly and the dash mantine components. The tool can be used:

• directly through the website hosted by Eurac Reserch at the following link
• on-premises.

On-premises

It is recommended to use a virtual environment such as Pipenv or Pyenv. For example:

    pipenv shell --python 3.12.6
    pipenv install
    source $(pipenv --venv)/bin/activate

The tool is currently tested with Python 3.12.6. After installing the required libraries using the command

pip install -r requirements.txt

the application can start

1. locally: running the command inside the folder BrickApp

python app.py

the actual port set up is: 8091

or create and use a docker container:

1. build dev docker image:

    docker build --platform=linux/amd64 -t brick:dev .   

2. run docker compose:

    docker compose up

Example

brick_audio_480.mp4

Possible issue running locally on Mac:

If there are these allerts

objc[9558]: +[NSString initialize] may have been in progress in another thread when fork() was called.
objc[9558]: +[NSString initialize] may have been in progress in another thread when fork() was called. We cannot safely call it or ignore it in the fork() child process. Crashing instead. Set a breakpoint on objc_initializeAfterForkError to debug.

run in terminal:

    export OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY=YES
