  • mytrip: contains all scripts necessary for interface created by Django.

  • Presentation_slides: contains the presentation slides.

Required Packages:

How to install all required packages on Ubuntu:

  1. Fire up a terminal, and go to the directory you want to store our program.

  2. In the directory of your choice, run this command to clone the git epository:
    git clone https://github.com/Shuting05/CAPP_30122.git

  3. After cloning the git repo, you will find a new local sub-directory called Project.

  4. In the home directory of Project, type in sh Installation.sh.

    • After typing in this bash command, you might be asked to input the password of your machine.
    • After inputting your password, Linux would start to install all required packages so as to ensure our program could run successfully and smoothly in your machine.
    • The nltk pakeage has to be downloaded in python, so after firing up the ipython3, run the following command:
      • import nltk
      • nltk.download()
    • Friendly Reminder: you only need to install once, and it might take about 30s to 1min to finish all required installations.

How to launch our program on Ubuntu:

  1. Go to the home directory of Project in your machine and type in sh launch_interface.sh.

    • If you are a first-time user and just finished installing all packages following the tutorial above, you can actually just stay in the same terminal window and input the command sh launch_interface.sh.
    • Notice: after typing in sh launch_interface.sh, you will find the current terminal you are using could no longer input other bash command.

  2. Open a new terminal in the same directory, and type in sh initialize.sh. It would automatically launch your default web browser and you will see our amazing interface, powered by Django.

How to use our program:

I.

  • Once you have successfully see our interface, the first thing you want to do, of course, is to input the origin and destination (anywhere in California) that you want your trip to start and end with.

  • After putting in origin and destination, click on the "GO!" button below. It will direct you to the second page which gives several categories of attractions that are along the route and you might pass by during your trip.

  • On the right panel, we provide a list of recommended attractions that ordered by popularity and ratings from google. Notice that by clicking each attractions, you will be directed to a tripadvisor webpage of that attractions.

  • You can choose whatever attractions that you find interested following the instruction on the webpage. After clicking "submit" button, you can see an optimal route is displayed on the map, and the detailed travel plan is presented in the bottom.

  • You can find out our raw NLP results by clicking the links at the buttom of the page. You will be directed to three csv files:

    • Attractions and the key phrases found in reviews of attractions
    • Categories of phrases with their attractions
    • Attractions with their classifications and key phrases
