GraphSpace is running at http://graphspace.org

GraphSpace has three dummy users:

1. Username: user1@example.com Password: user1
2. Username: user2@example.com Password: user2
3. Username: user3@example.com Password: user3

1. Python v2.7.10
2. postgreSQL with pg_trgm extension
3. virtualenv
4. bower
5. ElasticSearch

In order to run GraphSpace, please install postgreSQL and both the Python runtime and development environments. We have tested GraphSpace with Python v2.7.10 and postgreSQL v9.6.2. GraphSpace does not support Python v3. GraphSpace performs best on either Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome browsers. The following steps describe how to install Python packages required by GraphSpace, download the GraphSpace code, and set up and start the server. The following instructions should apply to computers running a version of the Linux or OS X operating systems.

1. Download the GraphSpace code by running git clone https://github.com/Murali-group/GraphSpace.git or by downloading the latest release: https://github.com/Murali-group/GraphSpace/releases.
2. Visit the GraphSpace directory: cd GraphSpace
3. Create a virtual environment for the project: virtualenv venv
4. Start using the virtual environment: source venv/bin/activate
5. Install graphspace: sh install.sh
6. Finally, start the GraphSpace server: python manage.py runserver --settings=graphspace.settings.local
7. Visit http://localhost:8080 and enjoy using GraphSpace!

This section describes the steps required to launch GraphSpace on a server that has apache2 running on it. First, please follow the steps in Running GraphSpace locally. Next, execute the instructions below.

1. Follow instructions 1-5 in Running GraphSpace locally
2. Add settings file production.py by copying local settings file. cp graphspace/settings/local.py graphspace/settings/
3. Update your production.py settings file.
4. InSet URL_PATH to the URL where your server will be running. Note: Please add the ending '/' character at the end of this value: For example: http://graphspace.org/
5. Modify the PATH to point to where GraphSpace directory exists. Note: Please add the ending '/' character at the end of this value: For example: /home/ubuntu/GraphSpace/
6. Visit the apache2 directory: cd /path_to/apache2. An example of the full path to this directory is /etc/apache2.
7. Navigate to the sites-enabled directory: cd sites-enabled
8. Create a file called graphspace.conf and access this file using admin privileges: `sudo vim graphspace.conf'
9. Inside this file, copy and paste following lines, after replacing path_to_GraphSpace with the name of the directory where you downloaded GraphSpace:

WSGIDaemonProcess GraphSpace python-path=/path_to_GraphSpace:/path_to_GraphSpace/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ python-eggs=/path_to_python_eggs
WSGIProcessGroup GraphSpace
WSGIScriptAlias / /path_to_GraphSpace/graphspace/wsgi.py

 <Directory /path_to_GraphSpace/graphspace/>
    <Files wsgi.py>
        Order deny,allow
        Require all granted
    </Files>
 </Directory>
 
 Alias /static/ /path_to_GraphSpace/graphs/static/
 
 <Directory /path_to_GraphSpace/graphs/static/>
     Require all granted
 </Directory>
 
 <Directory /path_to_GraphSpace>
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride None
  Require all granted
 </Directory>

8. Install module to recognize Django application through apache2: sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi
9. Give permission to access static files through apache2. Navigate outside GraphSpace and type: chmod 777 GraphSpace
10. Create a directory for python-eggs. mkdir /path_to_python_eggs
11. Give permission to access static files through apache2. chmod 777 /path_to_python_eggs
12. Restart the apache server. On a computer running Ubuntu, the command is sudo service apache2 restart

Refer to https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/howto/deployment/wsgi/modwsgi/ if any problems occur with the setup.
