Running everything using Vagrant

1. Make sure you have Vagrant installed (including a provider such as VirtualBox)
2. Run start.sh (on Linux) or start.bat (on Windows)

This will take a few minutes but eventually the application will be available on in your broswer on localhost:3000. We recommend using Google Chrome with 1920x1080 resolution.

Running the web application individually

In the console:

1. cd frontend
2. yarn install
3. yarn start

(You can use npm instead of yarn)

The web app runs on localhost:3000.

You can edit frontend/src/utils/config.ts to change the geolocation and fileserver URL between localhost and remote servers.

Web app is also deployed to: https://pcap-viz.surge.sh/

Running the file server individually

Aside from Node and npm, the file server requires tshark to be installed and available in PATH.

1. cd backend/fileserver
2. yarn install
3. yarn start

The servers runs on localhost:5000.

Running the geolocation server individually

1. cd backend/geolocation
2. yarn install
3. yarn start

The servers runs on localhost:5001.
