Julien Bellanger from [PING](http://www.pingbase.net/) could tell more about this part...\n\nThen other people join the project, wanting some visualisation for their own datasets : other bibliographical references gathered in [Zotero](https://www.zotero.org/). So the project eventually aimed to be as 'neutral' as possible to accept any kind of dataset from Zotero.\n\n-------------------------------------------------------\n## UNDER THE HOOD\n\nLibViz development is documented here.\n\nLibViz is powered by :\n\n- [**Python**](https://www.python.org/) to get the references and create the JSON datasets\n- [**Zotero**](https://www.zotero.org/) to organise bibliographical references\n- [**Flask**](http://flask.pocoo.org/) as backbone of the website\n- [**Bootstrap**](https://getbootstrap.com/) for the global aspect website\n- [**d3.js**](https://d3js.org/) by Mike Bostock to create the graph visualisation\n\n-------------------------------------------------------\n## CREDITS\n\nProject by [PING](http://www.pingbase.net/) / [ARTLABO](http://artlabo.org/) and developped by Julien P with the precious help of Julien B., Benjamin C., Ewen C., Xavier from Bureau d'études\n\nThis application is inspired by a previous work called \"[Constellations bibliographiques](http://www.laurent-malys.fr/sur-les-epaules-de-darwin/)\" developped by [Laurent Malys](http://www.laurent-malys.fr/a-propos/).\n\n-------------------------------------------------------\n## VIRTUALENV CONFIGURATION\n\n\nTo develop \u0026 test this application, you can use a Python “virtualenv”. To proceed, just install the Debian package `python-virtualenv`, create a new “virtualenv”, activate it and then install the required dependencies:\n\n    $ sudo apt install python-virtualenv\n    $ cd LibViz\n    $ virtualenv venv\n    $ source venv/bin/activate\n    $ pip install -r requirements.txt\n    $ python run.py\n\n-------------------------------------------------------\n## APACHE CONFIGURATION\n\n\nTo deploy this application with Apache2, you have to install `mod_wsgi` (available in Debian in the `libapache2-mod-wsgi` package). You can then add the following snippet in your VirtualHost’s configuration:\n\n    DocumentRoot \"/home/artlabo/www/libviz.artlabo.org/LibViz\"\n\n    WSGIDaemonProcess libviz user=artlabo group=artlabo threads=5 python-home=/home/artlabo/www/libviz.artlabo.org/LibViz/venv python-pat$\n    WSGIScriptAlias / /home/artlabo/www/libviz.artlabo.org/LibViz/libviz.wsgi\n\n    \u003cDirectory /home/artlabo/www/libviz.artlabo.org/LibViz/\u003e\n            WSGIProcessGroup libviz\n            WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}\n            Require all granted\n            AllowOverride All\n            #Order deny,allow\n            #Allow from all\n    \u003c/Directory\u003e\n\nThis configuration requires to install a Python “virtualenv” in `/home/artlabo/www/libviz.artlabo.org/LibViz/venv`.\n\nApache server should be reloaded after each code change.\n\n-------------------------------------------------------\n## START LIBVIZ (Flask)\n\nLibViz uses [Flask](http://flask.pocoo.org/) to work. \nWith the above configuration, restarting apache will start Flask and so the LibViz app.\n\n-------------------------------------------------------\n## LICENCE :  Creative Commons License\n\nLibViz is licensed under a [Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.fr) .\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjulienparis%2Flibviz","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjulienparis%2Flibviz","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjulienparis%2Flibviz/lists"}
