Cameron Goodale commented on CLIMATE-383:
-----------------------------------------

Hey Omkar,

This is a really old issue that might need to be closed if the UI and CLI components are no longer being developed.  My goal when i wrote this was to avoid a user having to navigate through the source code via:  cd ocw/ui/ ; python main.py   

Instead I was expecting them to merely write  ocw_ui from any directory once the setup.py has been run and ocw is installed.

This link has more info about how to achieve this goal:

Thanks for looking into this one.

> After seeing the following presentation at my local Python User Group:
> http://slid.es/edwardliaw/python-packaging
> I started thinking of all the ways that OCW's setup.py can be used to make it easier for new users to make use of the OCW CLI and WebApp.
> The goal for this issue is having a setup.py where a user can download the source code and run:
> {code}
> $ python setup.py install
> {code}
> That will install ocw into their python's location for 3rd party libs, meaning people can write python programs that can simply import ocw.
> The other goal is to enable users to also run common commands as scripts on their machine without worrying about being in the 'right location'.
> The two scripts I want to add in are:
> ocw_ui  # Launches the WebApp
> ocw_cli # Launches the Command Line Interface
> Documentation on how to perform these actions will also be part of this JIRA, and will be added to the CLIMATE wiki page.
