README for the development webapp

Running the Development Webapp

1. Install docker

2. Install Java 8

3. Install sbt

4. Clone the automates repo

5. Go to the text reading docker subdirectory and launch the grobid-quantities docker container

   cd automates/text_reading/docker
   docker-compose up grobidquantities
   

6. In another session, go to the main text reading subdirectory and launch the webapp

    cd automates/text_reading
    sbt webapp/run
   

   Note: The first time you run this, it will take a while because it is downloading and installing scala as well as the library dependencies and compiling the code. Subsequent runs will be MUCH faster.

7. Open a browser and go to localhost:9000

8. Enter text, click submit. The first query will take longer (~60 seconds) because of model loading. Subsequent queries will be much faster.
