Getting started¶

You have two options for using Brilview:

Central Brilview - visit centrally deployed Brilview at https://brilview.web.cern.ch
Private Brilview - run Brilview locally

Central Brilview¶

We have central Brilview hosted by CERN web services at https://brilview.web.cern.ch

Private Brilview means running backend (running brilcalc, doing aggregations, etc.) on your own machine.

Before installing and/or running Brilview, you first need:

brilconda bin directory in the beginning of your $PATH variable, so that pip and python would be picked from brilconda installation. For this step you will probably need to install brilconda and modify $PATH variable - read how to do it: https://cms-service-lumi.web.cern.ch/cms-service-lumi/brilwsdoc.html#brilcondainstallation and https://cms-service-lumi.web.cern.ch/cms-service-lumi/brilwsdoc.html#prerequisite
installed and working brilcalc - read how to do it: https://cms-service-lumi.web.cern.ch/cms-service-lumi/brilwsdoc.html#installation

Install brilview using brilconda pip:

pip install brilview

Run brilview:

brilview

Default browser should open Brilview client app on localhost:8008 (visit manually if not opened).
