Installation

First, clone the repo

git clone git@github.com:hmc-whisk/jsLDA.git
cd jsLDA

Then, install all dependencies

yarn

# using npm (not recommended)
npm i

If you don't have yarn installed but do have npm, you can install it by npm i -g yarn. yarn is much faster than npm.

Running the code

To run a development version of the code locally

yarn start

# or, for npm 
npm run start

To build a release version of the code

yarn build

# or, for npm
npm run build

Deploying the code

If you have access to a server under cs.hmc.edu, you can deploy a copy of the code using the deploy script (requires bash and rsync, so if you are using Windows you probably should run this under WSL)

yarn deploy <your-hmc-username>

# or, for npm
npm run deploy <your-hmc-username>

The code will then be live under www.cs.hmc.edu/~your-hmc-username/jsLDA/.
