To setup OMW, start by cloning the repository and changing to its directory:

~$ git clone https://github.com/globalwordnet/OMW.git
~$ cd OMW/
~/OMW$

This application utilizes older versions of some packages, as specified in requirements.txt. For that reason, we suggest the creation of isolated Python environments using virtualenv to install such versions. See here for instructions on installing virtualenv itself if you don't already have it. Now create and activate new virtual environment:

~/OMW$ virtualenv -p python3 env
~/OMW$ source env/bin/activate
(env) ~/OMW$

Now install the dependencies and download WordNet for NLTK:

(env) ~/OMW$ pip install -r requirements.txt
(env) ~/OMW$ python -c 'import nltk; nltk.download("wordnet")'

With the dependencies satisfied, you are ready to create the databases for running the OMW interface:

(env) ~/OMW$ bash create-db.sh

The above command will prompt for a password for the admin database. When the command has completed, you are ready to run the web app.

You can run the OMW web app on your local machine in debug mode by running omw/__init__.py:

(env) ~/OMW/omw$ python __init__.py

Note: Currently you must run the above command from the omw/ subdirectory.

If successful, you should be able to view the OMW by visiting http://0.0.0.0:5000/
