Installing Google App Engine

The first and foremost step you should compelete is to install Google App Engine. The program will not function without this step!

Windows:

  • Make sure that you open Command Prompt as admin.
  1. Download the Google App Engine SDK for Windows
  2. Double-click the SDK file you downloaded and follow the prompts to install the SDK

Linux:

$ cd ~
$ mkdir comp_head_local
$ cd comp_head_local
$ wget https://storage.googleapis.com/appengine-sdks/featured/google_appengine_1.9.64.zip
$ unzip google_appengine_1.9.64.zip
$ export PATH=$PATH:/root/comp_head_local/google_appengine/

MacOS:

  • Download Google App Engine for macOS
  • Double-click on the zip file downloaded to expand it.
  • Create a new directory on your computer specific to compressor-head. Eg: comp_head_local (This is what we will use in this guide)
  • Navigate to this new directory and move the newly downloaded google_appengine to your directory.

OR, if you prefer executing these steps through the command-line,

$ cd ~
$ mkdir comp_head_local
$ cd comp_head_local
$ curl -O https://storage.googleapis.com/appengine-sdks/featured/google_appengine_1.9.64.zip
$ unzip google_appengine_1.9.64.zip
$ export PATH=$PATH:/root/comp_head_local/google_appengine/

That's it! Move on to the next steps to run the program.

Installing Python

After installing the GAE, install Python 2.7 (if not installed).

Windows:

  1. Download the Python 2.7 installer
  2. Double-click the installer and follow the prompts to install Python 2.7

Linux:

$ sudo apt-get -y install python2.7

MacOS:

$ sudo installer -pkg python2.7

Install Git (if not installed)

$ cd ~
$ sudo apt install git

Lastly, head back to the comp_head_local folder

$ cd comp_head_local

Running the app

Then, you can bend the repository to your computer and run a program from there

$ git clone https://github.com/jboss-outreach/compressor-head
$ cd google_appengine
$ python dev_appserver.py ../compressor-head --port=45456 --host=0.0.0.0
  • Use chmod +x /file/directory/file if a file is denied to run.
