Windows Setup Instructions

Since you're on Windows and Docker is giving path errors, here's the easier way to run EdgeLab:

Quick Setup (No Docker Compose Needed)

Step 1: Install Python packages

pip install flask flask-cors streamlit requests

Step 2: Run the startup script

run_windows.bat

This will:

  • Initialize the database
  • Start the API in one window
  • Start the UI in another window

Step 3: Open your browser

Go to: http://localhost:8501

Manual Start (if batch file doesn't work)

Terminal 1 - API:

cd api
python database.py
python app.py

Terminal 2 - UI:

cd ui
streamlit run streamlit_app.py

Important Note About Code Execution

The code executor uses Docker to run submitted code safely. On Windows, you need:

  1. Docker Desktop must be running
  2. WSL 2 backend enabled (Docker Desktop → Settings → General → Use WSL 2)

If Docker isn't working, the code execution will fail but you can still:

  • See the UI
  • Test the API
  • View the architecture

Alternative: Use WSL 2

If Docker keeps having issues, run everything in WSL:

# In WSL terminal
cd /mnt/c/Users/Rizwan/Documents/EdgeLab/edgelab
docker compose up

Troubleshooting

"Module not found" errors:

pip install -r api/requirements.txt
pip install -r ui/requirements.txt

Port 5000 in use:

  • Close other applications using port 5000
  • Or change the port in api/app.py: app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=5001)

Streamlit not found:

pip install streamlit

Testing Without Docker

If you can't get Docker working, you can still demonstrate the project by:

  1. Showing the code and architecture
  2. Explaining the security design
  3. Walking through how it would work with Docker
  4. Demonstrating the UI and API structure

The important part is understanding the system design, which you clearly do since the test passed!
