Read me for IEQ interface

Backend Setup

Backend part of this system is a python program that provides real-time data (json file) of Linklab to frontend interface every 5 minutes.

Operating environment:

1. OS: Windows10
2. python 3.8.13
3. go to ./backend/ and run following command

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

4. In order to run the backend program, you need to setup the env file in ./backend/, however, I will not provide this on github since it is key to Linklab IEQ server. If you are a student or faculty in this class, you should know where it is. So, download the env file and put it in ./backend/, then, run following command

$ mv env .env

5. Now you can run ./backend/real_time_IEQ.py and this program will automatically generate Linklab data to frontend interface

Frontend Setup

After activating the backend part, we can setup the front end interface now.

1. run following command at root (./) to install node.js

npm install -g npm

2. Then, run following command to activate the interface on localhost:3000

npm start

now, you can see the front-end interface, this interface will update automatically every 5 minutes if you have activated the backend program.
