Installation

We will be running the system on the Lubuntu 20.4.1 LTS virtual machine image.

First, update the packages and install pip for Python3 on the Lubuntu VM.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y 
sudo apt install python3-pip 

To install Node.js,

sudo apt install npm 

To download the latest source code from GitHub,

git clone https://github.com/COMP3900-9900-Capstone-Project/capstoneproject-comp9900-w16a-fifa.git 

Make sure that config.js is in capstoneproject-comp9900-w16a-fifa/server and config.ini is in capstoneproject-comp9900-w16a-fifa/server/recommender. These two files contain the login credentials required to connect to the PostgreSQL database.

To install the required Python libraries needed by the recommender system,

cd capstoneproject-comp9900-w16a-fifa/server/recommender 
pip install -r requirements.txt 

The nltk Python library needs to download a set of corpus in order to perform word stemming. This will only need to be run once.

cd capstoneproject-comp9900-w16a-fifa/server
python3 run.py

In separate terminals:

To start the back-end code,

cd capstoneproject-comp9900-w16a-fifa/server
npm install  
npm run start

To start the front-end code,

cd capstoneproject-comp9900-w16a-fifa/client
npm install  
npm run start

If for some reason, npm install gives an error, run npm install --force
