OSSBridge

1. OSSBridge - Quick Start Guide ## Prerequisites 1. **Docker Desktop** installed and running - Download: https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop - Supports: Windows 10/11, macOS 10.15+, Linux - Free for educational and research use 2. **Dataset** downloaded from Zenodo - Download the Dataset.zip from Zenodo - Extract it to a location on your computer --- ## Setup ### Step 1: Extract OSSBridge Package Extract the `OSSBridge-Docker.zip` file to a folder on your computer. ### Step 2: Configure Dataset Path 1. Open the `.env` file in a text editor: **Mac/Linux:** ```bash nano .env ``` **Windows:** ``` notepad .env ``` 2. Update the `DATASET_PATH` line with the location where you extracted the dataset: **Mac Example:** ```bash DATASET_PATH=/Users/yourname/Downloads/Dataset ``` **Windows Example:** ``` DATASET_PATH=C:/Users/yourname/Downloads/Dataset ``` **Linux Example:** ```bash DATASET_PATH=/home/yourname/Downloads/Dataset ``` **Or use relative path** (if Dataset folder is next to OSSBridge-Docker): ```bash DATASET_PATH=../Dataset ``` 3. Save the file and close the editor ### Step 3: Start OSSBridge **Mac/Linux:** ```bash cd OSSBridge-Docker ./start.sh ``` **Windows:** ``` cd OSSBridge-Docker start.bat ``` **Or manually:** ```bash cd OSSBridge-Docker docker-compose up --build ``` ### Step 4: Access the Application Once you see "Server running on port 5050" in the terminal: 1. Open your web browser 2. Go to: **http://localhost:3000** 3. The OSSBridge interface should load --- ## Using OSSBridge 1. **Search for a library** (e.g., type "jackson") 2. **Select a library** from the dropdown (e.g., "jackson-databind") 3. **Select a version** (e.g., "2.17.2") 4. **Click "Analyze Usage"** to view analytics 5. **Explore the visualizations:** - Usage statistics - Dependent analysis - Maintainer summary - API surface usage - Test coverage --- ## Stopping the Application **In the terminal where Docker is running:** - Press `Ctrl+C` **Then clean up:** ```bash docker-compose down ``` --- ## Troubleshooting ### "Docker is not running." - **Solution:** Start the Docker Desktop application - Wait for Docker to fully start (whale icon in system tray) ### "Cannot find dataset" or "ENOENT: no such file or directory." - **Problem:** Dataset path in `.env` is incorrect - **Solution:** 1. Check the path inthe `.env` file 2. Make sure you extracted the Dataset.zip 3. Use an absolute path (full path from root) 4. On Windows, use forward slashes: `C:/Users/...` not `C:\Users\...` ### "Port 3000 already in use." - **Problem:** Another application is using port 3000 - **Solution:** - Stop other applications using port 3000 - Or edit `docker-compose.yml` and change `"3000:80"` to `"8080:80"` ### "Port 5050 already in use." - **Problem:** Another application is using port 5050 - **Solution:** - Stop other applications using port 5050 - Or edit `docker-compose.yml` and change the backend port ### Build fails, or images won't start - **Solution:** ```bash # Clean up and rebuild docker-compose down --rmi all docker-compose up --build ``` --- ## System Requirements - **Operating System:** Windows 10/11, macOS 10.15+, or Linux - **RAM:** 4GB minimum, 8GB recommended - **Disk Space:** - ~2GB for Docker images - Dataset size (varies) - ~1GB for temporary build files - **Docker Desktop:** Latest version --- ## Additional Commands ```bash # Start in detached mode (background) docker-compose up -d # View logs docker-compose logs -f # Stop containers docker-compose down # Rebuild from scratch docker-compose up --build # Remove everything (containers, images, volumes) docker-compose down --rmi all --volumes ``` ---
