Failure to set up on Debian 12
Closed this issue · 4 comments
I tried to set up a local server on Debian 12. Steps I took:
as root
apt-get install python3-flask-cors python3-waitress python3-flask
apt-get install yarnpkg
then as user, download the zip file from github go into the unzipped directory.
cd client
yarnpkg install
yarnpkg build
mv dict ../http_server
python3.11 http_server/http_server.py
python3.11 server/server.py
then open http://localhost:8081 on web browser
Nothing shows up. On the terminal with server/server.py, nothing shows. on the http_server.py one:
127.0.0.1 - - [28/Aug/2023 03:35:28] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 -

Where did I get wrong in terms of following instructions? How to get it to work?
Please try running python http_server.py inside the directory /path/to/the/project/http_server. I assumed that the working directory should be that.
Yes, running the http_server.py in its own directory works! Now I have the interface showing up.
Perhaps you can update the instruction on readme.md on the main page. Currently it says
python3.10 http_server/http_server.py
python3.10 server/server.py
Which is why I didn't go into that directory.
I can see that right now it only supports mdx dictionaries. I don't have many of those and so I cannot test out whether it works with indexing and searching right now. I will contact you about DSL and stardict formats soon!
Thanks for being so responsive and helpful!
Yes, it is my fault :( I will update the instructions soon.
If you need a mdx dictionary for trying out this project, check out https://freemdict.com/.
Yes I tried one and it works on Debian! Thanks!
