Installation and Database setup

To setup OMW, follow these instructions.

Deploying

The included omw.wsgi file can help you get started with deploying to an Apache2 server with mod_wsgi. See the Flask documentation for more information.

If you are running a virtual environment (which is recommended) for a deployment with Apache2 and mod_wsgi, note the following:

• You must use the same version of Python that mod_wsgi is compiled against (see here).
• If your need to use sudo to create and install packages to the virtual environment, running sudo pip install -r omw/requirements.txt with the environment active will not work; instead, use sudo py3env/bin/pip install -r omw/requirements.txt (adjusting paths as needed for your setup).
• As described here, you may need to activate the virtual environment from the WSGI script. See omw.wsgi for an example.

Local Testing

You can load a wordnet from the command line:

(py3env) ~/OMW$  PYTHONPATH=.  python scripts/validate-wn.py /home/bond/work/omw/jpn/jpn.xml 

Note that you may still have to add the project, and possibly the language, from the web interface (under CILI: Project and Source Administration or Language Administration).
