Would somebody please provide a detailed step by step process from download, install, to running on a macOS?

Opened this issue · 3 comments

So far, i've downloaded the zip file.
Unzipped the file.
Moved the unzipped file to my desktop.
typed 'pip3 install -r requirements.txt' into my terminal.
typed 'sudo python3 main.py'.
and nothing.
Trying http://localhost:3000/ and it states it can't be reached.

Thank you again for all your help!

I've got it running on a mac; is there any sort of error after you run "sudo python3 main.py"?

So my exact process.
I downloaded the codes.
Exracted the zip file.
moved the extracted zip file to my desktop.
opened macos terminal.
typed 'CD'
added a space
dragged the code file from desktop and dropped it into terminal. so the command looks like 'CD /users/Benito/Desktop/Kinesis-main'
Hit enter.
typed 'sudo python3 main.py'
the terminal processed the command and downloaded all the files.
Once it was done. it asked for my password. I typed my password and hit enter.
Then tried to access the 'http;//localhost:3000'
and the browser page stated "it can't be reached, localhost refused to connect"

where am i messing up?

Step by step done by your friend chatgpt, assuming you have the folder unzipped on your downloads folder:

Sure, I'll guide you through the process. Here's what you need to do step by step:

Open Terminal
You can find the Terminal application in the Utilities folder within your Applications folder, or you can search for it using Spotlight.

Navigate to Your Program's Directory: Use the cd command to navigate to the directory where you've unzipped your program. If it's in your Downloads folder, the command would look something like this:

Copy code
cd ~/Downloads/your_program_folder
Replace your_program_folder with the actual name of the folder that contains the program.

Set Up a Virtual Environment: You will create an isolated Python environment for this project. Run the following command:

Copy code
python3 -m venv ./.venv

Activate the Virtual Environment: Once the virtual environment is created, you need to activate it using:

Copy code
source ./.venv/bin/activate
You'll know it's activated when you see the name of the virtual environment in parentheses before the prompt in your Terminal.

Install Python Dependencies: Install the required Python packages listed in the requirements.txt file with:

Copy code
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
This command must be run in the directory where requirements.txt is located.

Connect Your iOS Device: Connect your iOS device to your Mac via USB and ensure it's in developer mode.

Start the Project: Run the main script of the project with superuser privileges:

Copy code
sudo python3 main.py
You might be prompted to enter your Mac's password because you're using sudo.

Browse to the Web Interface: Once the main.py script is running, open a web browser and go to http://localhost:3000 to interact with the application.
