The Elevation-Based Navigation App, or EleNa, is an altitude-aware program which can take elevation gain or loss into account when planning routes between two points. Unlike traditional mapping applications, EleNA allows users to specify a threshold distance that will search for the maximal or minimal elevation gain or loss.
The operating environment of EleNA is a containerized webapp, deployable to any host. The client will be accessible via HTTP from any web browser. The backend will be callable from the frontend.
Step 0: Install Docker (https://www.docker.com)
Step 1: Run docker-compose build
Step 2: Run cd elevation
Step 3: Run mkdir data
Step 4: Run docker run -t -i -v $(pwd)/data:/code/data elenaapp-elena_elevation_server /code/create-dataset.sh to download the elevation dataset. It is 18.5 GB and takes roughly 15 minutes to download and process
Step 5: Run cd ..
Step 6: Run docker-compose up
The client will be running now on localhost:3000 and the backend will be running on localhost:5001.
