Install and use idea2Life from source (without docker)

Currently we have tested idea2Life installation on MacOSX and Linux systems only. These instructions assumes you have anaconda python with python version 3.7 already installed on your system.

1. Clone idea2Life repo.

2. Create folder ai/lib. Install PyYolo inside it. Follow instructions for installation of pyyolo by reading Readme file in pyyolo repo.

3. Inside folder ai/models download the model file inside it.

4) Install dependencies opencv and numpy using either pip or conda. For installing OpenCV on Ubuntu 16.04 and MacOSX use this command on your terminal:

conda install --channel menpo opencv

5. Go inside the ai folder and run these two commands:

   cp cfg/yolo-obj.cfg lib/pyyolo/darknet/cfg/
   cp data/obj.names lib/pyyolo/darknet/data/
   

6. Goto folder idea2life. Run npm install:

   cd <path_to_repo>/idea2life
   npm install
   

Run Service

You have to run ai service and main idea2Life service separately using this command.

1. Open terminal and run the following commands:

   cd <path-to-repo> //you need to be in your repo folder
   export FLASK_APP=ai/server/app.py && flask run -p 5000
   

2. Inside file <path-to-repo>/idea2life/conf.js find this entry:

   ai: {
           url: 'ai',
           name: 'ai',
           port: 5000
       }
   

Replace field url: ai with localhost or ip of address server where ai service is hosted.

2. Open terminal and run the following commands:

   cd <path-to-repo>/idea2life //you need to be in your repo folder
   npm start
