How to run

Setup

1. Setting up ubuntu

• Installing gstreamer ````

apt-get install libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-dev gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly gstreamer1.0-libav gstreamer1.0-tools gstreamer1.0-x gstreamer1.0-alsa gstreamer1.0-gl gstreamer1.0-gtk3 gstreamer1.0-qt5 gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio gstreamer1.0-nice

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

• Installing gobject-introspection

• Setting up a pulse audio sink ( install pulseaudio if command not found )

pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=chrome_sink sink_properties=device.description="Chrome_Sink"

If you get an error like 'Access is denied' or something, You might want to add current user to pulse-access group

• Installing xvfb for headless mode

sudo apt install xvfb

2. Setting up project for deployment

• Clone project. Switch to v2 branch.
• Navigate to .env folder and comment out DEV = 'True'. Setting DEV = 'False' won't be enough.
• Create virtual python environment

virtualenv venv

• Switch to virtual environment

source venv/bin/activate

• Navigate to project root
• Install requirements.

pip install -r requirements.txt

• Give executable permissions to launchers.

chmod +x *.sh

3. Running project

• Running fastapi server. Must be run from project root. Otherwise, launchers are recreated and executable permissions must be re-issued. We are using development mode for the demo

fastapi dev src/app.py

Node server must be running on port 7000 for the bots to function properly

• Run bots from either calling the http endpoints or navigating to http://localhost:8000/docs interface

2. Run npm i
3. Run node server.js

5. React frontend

1. Navigate to src/frontend
