Cloning

Install git-lfs for large-file support.

Installation

• python3 if you don't have it (and python3 -m pip install pyyaml numpy scipy TextGrid)

• HTK tools: http://htk.eng.cam.ac.uk/download.shtml

  • note: if you are having trouble installing this and there is a problem with X11, use configure --without-x --disable-hslab so you don't need X11 (for graphing)

Configure and run on your computer

On Mac OS, execute main.py and preview in http://localhost:8080/

For cross-computer compatibility, create a file named filepaths.json containing a dictionary as a json file as follows:

{
    "DATA": "/absolute/path/to/directory/where/user/uploads/will/be/processed",
    "PASSWORD": "/absolute/path/to/text/file/containing/the/GMail/password",
    "URLBASE": "http://base.url.on.this.machine",
    "GOOGLESPEECH": "/absolute/path/to/googleprivatekeyjson",
    "AZURE_API_KEY": "/absolute/path/to/azure-api-key.txt"
}

Do not push filepaths.json to the repo, since it is dependent on the local environment.

Restarting Lighttpd

Lighttpd does not automatically recompile the code after changes (unlike Apache), and needs to be manually restarted like so:

killall lighttpd
/etc/init.d/lighttpd start

This is only relevant for the production server.
