Quickstart

The following steps should get you up and running:

• Be sure you have ElasticSearch intalled and running
• git clone [email protected]:NUKnightLab/bonfire.git
• Inside the repo: pip install .
• bonfire config. Add your Twitter credentials and configure a universe seed of up to 14 users.
• bonfire build. This will expand the universe from the seed and prepare Elasticsearch to run bonfire.
• In separate terminals run: bonfire collect and bonfire process for each universe you've defined.
• To see results in the example web application, be sure to pip install Flask and run app.py that is located in the repository in web/flaskapp.
