This extends Amphitrite with a client-server architecture graphical interface based on modern web technologies (Electron, Dash, Plotly, Javascript) with a back-end running on Python 3.

The original Amphitrite code-base was ported from Python 2.x to Python 3.x using automated tools as well as manual formatting of the original code (a number of functions have to be re-written in order to sucesfully run in the new environment)

IPC Client Server Architecture with a Renderer/Main process and a Flask server to server the front-end.

This software is using the poetry package manager in order to install the software. That means you only need to install the package and run poetry install which will install all the required modules as well as it will create a new environment for the user.

Redis is used for local caching of expensive calculations, in order to free-up the front-end from it. Again developing for Windows is trickier than Unix platforms (Linux, OsX). One needs to install WSL and run:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install redis - server

# Check you 're on the latest version
redis - cli - v

# Restart the server to ensure it 's up
sudo service redis - server restart

redis - cli

For Windows you can install waitress and run waitress-serve.exe --listen=*:5000 --threads= nproc amphitrite:app.server and replace the port and threads with the ones of your choice.

Start the virtual environment that you created previously and run cd ichor ; python3 triton.py in order to create a server process that will provide a local server on a predefined port (5000 by default but that can be changed).

When this is sucesfull the Electron part of the application can be started by running electron . which will install the respective node_modules and run the front-end.

Note: You need to save the data files inside ichor/data folder for the front-end to properly operate. This is going to be changed in future versions.

Alternatively a WSGI client can be used such as waitress-serve for Windows in the production.
