Deployment
This document provides step-by-step instructions on deploying the AlphaLab package on a cloud platform.
Prerequisites
Before proceeding with the deployment, ensure that you have the following prerequisites in place:
Access to a cloud platform (e.g., Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure).
Basic knowledge of the cloud platform's interface and virtual machine creation process.
A web browser is installed on your local machine.
Step 1: Create a VM
Log in to your cloud platform account.
Navigate to the VM or EC2 instance creation section.
Follow the platform-specific instructions to create a new VM or EC2 instance. AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, DigitalOcean - Droplet
Make sure to select an appropriate operating system and configuration for your needs.
Once the VM is successfully created, take note of its IP address or hostname. You will need this information later.
Step 2: Set Up Python Environment
Connect to the VM using SSH or the platform's remote access interface.
Note: This command is related to AWS EC2 instance.
Install Python on the VM by following the platform-specific instructions. Jump to step 3 (Click on Docker Tab) if you want to use docker instead of setting up python enironment.
Upgrade and update Ubuntu to the latest version
Install the required packages
Note: The above
Then you can install Python 3.11 using the apt-get package manager
Verify the Python installation by running the following command
Step 3: Install the quanturf
Package
quanturf
PackageStep 3a: Create python virtual environment using following command
Step 3b: Activate virtual environment using following command
Step 3c: Install quanturf
package using following command
Step 3d: Run jupyterlab using following command. This command starts the JupyterLab server and binds it to port 9000.
Keep the terminal or command prompt open while the server is running
Step 4: Access JupyterLab on a Web Browser
Open a web browser on your local machine.
In the browser's address bar, enter the following URL:
http://<VM-IP-ADDRESS>:9000
Replace<VM-IP-ADDRESS>
with the IP address or hostname of the VM from Step 1.Press Enter to access the JupyterLab interface.
You should now be able to use JupyterLab to work with the
quanturf
package and perform your desired tasks.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You have successfully deployed the quanturf
package on a cloud platform. You can now use JupyterLab through a web browser to utilize the functionality provided by the package.
