Code Structure

To understand how the code is organized, please read understandcode.md.

Running the Code Locally with XAMPP (Windows)

This is a one time exercise. Once you have completed the steps below, you should only open your browser (Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, etc.) and browse to localhost/SanskritVerb/tiGanta.html to access a frontend that will allow you to interact with the machine.

1. Download the latest version of XAMPP
2. Install XAMPP
3. Install Git from https://git-scm.com/downloads
4. Locate XAMPP directory (usually c://xampp)
5. Right-click on xampp-control.exe and select 'Run As Administrator' (For steps 5-8, if in doubt, please see this)
6. In the right-top corner, click on 'Config'
7. Tick Apache, FileZilla, Tomcat, MySQL and Mercury in 'Autostart of modules' section
8. Click 'Save'
9. Close 'XAMPP Control Panel'
10. Go to xampp/htdocs directory
11. Copy install.sh in that directory
12. Click on install.sh (this will fetch the latest code and data for local usage)

Running the Code Locally with Docker (MacOS / Linux)

1. Install Docker (can also be done through Homebrew)
2. Clone this repo and cd into it
3. docker build -t sanskrit-verb .
4. docker run -p 3333:80 -v `pwd`/:/var/www/html/ sanskrit-verb
5. Open the browser to http://localhost:3333
