SciStacks

Reproducible software stacks for research

Overview

• New PhD students and post-docs often join a group and need to get up and running with a core set of libraries, languages and applications
• More experienced researchers need to be able to select a set of libraries and applications and not have to be concerned about dependencies or versions.
• We want our research stacks to facilitate reproducible research to build once and deploy anywhere.

Installation

A working Python 3 install with Flask installed is required. The easiest way to achieve this is to install Anaconda Python and then:

conda install flask

Start the service by running

python scistack/scistack.py

and go to http://127.0.0.1:5000 to use the service
