Cannot run streamlit demo locally

[ritog]

I tried to run the demo using the instructions given in the markdown file in the demo-1 directory as instructed by @sujitpal .

Did not get the context of-

In addition, we need to generate CLIP vectors for the image corpus using demo-image-encoder.ipynb.

So, did not follow it.

I do the rest sequentially. This is what I get-

SSH: Attempting to connect to worker 0...
bind [127.0.0.1]:8501: Address already in use
channel_setup_fwd_listener_tcpip: cannot listen to port: 8501
Could not request local forwarding.

What is causing this? How to run this demo?

After closing an already running server on the same port, when I try to SSH into the VM with SSL flag, I get this-

gcloud alpha compute tpus tpu-vm ssh fishtail --zone us-central1-a --project hf-flax --ssh-flag="-L 8501:localhost:8501"
ERROR: gcloud crashed (AttributeError): 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split'

I moved the vectors file into a common location and updated the instructions and verified it running locally post these changes. BTW you need the additional packages (streamlit and nmslib) in your jenv environment to run this. Can you please pull the updates and try this again?

[sujitpal]

actually hold off a bit trying something else

closing this since @arampacha and @goutham794 were both able to run locally.
