Could you please elaborate it more |

Hey @nikhiljangra264, thanks for the question! What we're aiming for here is to :
I was thinking of a script (or a few small scripts) that would try to locate the dependencies and install missing ones, update the config.json file accordingly and provide means to start applications built on top of MediaProcessor. Currently we only have the Web app, but it should be extensible; it could just take args, e.g. --web or --gui, for now and that would be OK. We should of course handle C++ specific dependencies within the existing CMake files as much as we can, and we could introduce other tools where they make sense, but I hope this gives a better view of what I'm looking for here. Does this help? Please let me know in case of any questions/feedback! |

we could add two scripts like .sh for linux and mac and .bat for windows |

I will do this. |
Or we could go with python, it's already a project dependency. So, it's not like it'd cost us anything.
All yours ! : )) |
As part of #67 the configurations is planned to be dynamically loaded. This is a hacky test to see if we can use this in the meantime.
This will manage the platform specific configuration/installation of dependencies. It should automatically update config.json file so that we can avoid adding a separate field for each platform and dependency that the user has to verify and maintain.
This will also introduce more flexibility in how to start our applications built on top of MediaProcessor.
The launcher should not assume the current web-based application will be the only use case. In the future we might provide a desktop GUI, and potentially other standalone applications.
The goal is to achieve a cross-platform seamless user experience.
