How to run streamsync from cloned source

Running Streamsync from Cloned Source

Follow these steps to set up and run Streamsync from a cloned source:

Step 1: Create a Virtual Environment

Ensure that you have a virtual environment installed within your cloned directory. You can create a virtual environment with the following commands:

python -m venv .winvenv
# OR
python -m venv .venv

Step 2: Install All Dependency

pip install -e .

Step 3: Set Up the User Interface (UI)

Navigate to the UI folder and install the required Node.js dependencies and build the UI:

npm install && npm run build

Step 4: Running the App

go root folder and run

streamsync edit hello --port 5000

Note: If you encounter an error like “A path to a folder containing a Streamsync app is required,” you may need to specify the path. In that case, navigate to the source folder and run:

cd src/streamsync/

streamsync edit app_templates/default  --port 5000

Running Streamsync from source can be slightly challenging.

First I'd change src/streamsync.py to something like 0.2.6wgong to check I'm actually executing the version from source.

Then you'd need to make sure that, with Node and NPM installed, you've compiled the required assets by running npm run build.
