Annotation Database Deployment

The database, utilities and website are all stored in the same git repository, which is checked out on the server machine and deployed using a single script, install.sh. The script is run from the command line with no arguments, at which point it will prompt the user to type stage or prod. If the former, the application is deployed to the staging environment; if the latter, it is deployed to the production environment.

Two switches are available:

• -v will recompile the Vue code.
• -r will reinstall the Python libraries required by the application.

If neither of these steps are required, the installation can be run without them. This is appropriate when only the backend code has been updated.

The database is not automatically updated by the install script. To deploy the database, follow the instructions on the Annotation Database page.
