How to deploy the solution?

Deploy to develop with PolarisOS

Every command is run in the root directory of the project (where the package.json is). Every path are relative to this root directory.

Prerequisites

• Elasticsearch 5.2
• Node.js 8.9.x (LTS)
• Gulp (latest version, should be install after Node.js using npm install -g gulp)
• Minio 2018-04 and onwards (if you plan to host files along with metadata)
• Grobid 0.5.x (if you plan to automatically analyze PDFs to extract metadata)

NB: We only support the latest LTS release of Node.js, but we know that the system works on 7.10 and onwards. We do not provide any support for those versions, though.

Change the configuration files

Configuration files are located in app/config. If you plan to have custom installations for both components, we advise you to change the related fields in app/config/all.js.

You need to check that the index\___prefix in app/config/all.js is set to msw before doing anything.

Create the required indices

PolarisOS needs to create indices into ElasticSearch database. To do so run the following command

node --harmony create_indices.js --create

Import the sample data

We provide sample data in an archive that you can import to bootstrap the platform.

Run the platform

In development mode, you should first build the static files then run the Node.js server.

Build the static files:

gulp default

Run the server:

npm run watch

In watch mode, any changes to files, automatically re-run the server.

Deploy PolarisOS in production

You should refer to the Git repository with the Docker configuration to do so.
