Dynamic Egocentric Exploration

Self hosting instructions

1. Create an .env file in /backend/ and /frontend/.
2. Write the following environment configuration in these files:

Config key	Description	Fallback value
	BACKEND
REQUEST_SECRET	Some string expected from the backend API for extra security.
APP_PORT	HTTP port of the application.	8000
	FRONTEND
VITE_BACKEND_URL	The host where the backend was deployed and also the subroutes of it. Don't put a slash at the end of the string. Example: http://localhost:8000/api/v1/web-scraper
VITE_REQUEST_SECRET	Some string expected from the backend API for extra security.

3. cd into /backend/, run npm i; npm run start.
4. If this throws an error, you don't have chromium installed. Puppeteer needs it. Install it and try npm i again.
5. cd into /frontend/, run npm i; npm run dev.
6. You should be good now and the project should work. Have fun!
