This is built off of ParaView Glance.
Download the stand-alone executable:
| Operating System | Executable |
|---|---|
| Linux | paraview-glance-py.linux.x86_64 |
| macOS | paraview-glance-py.macos.x86_64 |
| Windows | paraview-glance-py.windows.x86_64.exe |
Run the executable. A new tab will open in your web browser with the application user interface.
This has only been tested with python3.
$ git clone [email protected]:KitwareMedical/paraview-glance-py.git
$ cd paraview-glance-py/
$ npm install
$ npm run build:release
$ cd server/
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
To build a standalone executable:
$ pip install pyinstaller
On Windows, also install pywin32:
$ pip install pywin32
Then package as a directory:
$ pyinstaller build/paraview-glance-py.spec
Or as a single file:
$ pyinstaller build/paraview-glance-py-onefile.spec
Simply run the resultant executable
dist/paraview-glance-py/paraview-glance-py.
For dev purposes, it is better to run the web and server as separate instances for debugging.
In one terminal, build the development version of the webapp:
$ cd paraview-glance-py/
$ npm run dev
In another terminal, run the server.
$ cd paraview-glance-py/server
$ python server.py --port 8181 --no-browser
After the python server starts up, visit
http://localhost:9999/?wsServer=ws://localhost:8181/ws to view the webapp.
If you get a blank screen, try clearing cache and then refreshing.
For the prebuilt binaries, this is likely due to the automated build environment using a different version of certain libraries. The easiest workaround is to follow the instructions under "Development" above and build the application locally so pyinstaller can link against local libraries.
Right now the server is set to self-terminate after 5 minutes. Either kill the application manually or wait 5 minutes for the application to self-terminate. Multiple instances of the application will not interfere with one another.
