How to Get Started with EDA Enterprise Data Analytics

Nov 11, 2020 | Data Science

If you’re looking to dive into the world of data analytics, the EDA Enterprise Data Analytics tool by Jortilles is the gateway you’ve been waiting for. This article will guide you through the setup process, configuration, installation, and troubleshooting—turning data into insightful analytics with ease!

Getting Started

The process begins with a simple command to clone the repository where EDA resides. You will need Git installed on your machine for this operation.

git clone github.com/jortilles/EDA.git

Configuration

Next up is the configuration of the application to connect with MongoDB. Let’s break this down into bite-sized steps:

  • First, you will need to make sure you have a local MongoDB server running.
  • In the cloned repository, navigate to eda/eda_apiconfig/database.config.js to set up your MongoDB database configuration.

Your configuration should look like this:

module.exports = {
  url: 'mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/EDA'
};

Setting the Backend URL

Now, let’s set the backend URL. Modify eda/eda_app/src/app/config/config.ts to specify the server’s address:

export const URL_SERVICES = 'http://localhost:8666';

Installation Process

Once configured, it’s time to install the necessary packages. Follow these steps:

  • Navigate to the API directory and install the packages:
  • cd EDA/eda_api
    npm install
    npm start
  • Then, proceed to the APP directory:
  • cd EDA/eda_app
    npm install
    npm start

Demo – Running EDA

The easiest way to run and test EDA is via Docker. Simply execute the following command:

docker run -p 80:80 jortilles/eda:latest

Once the process completes, head over to http://localhost. You can use the following default credentials to log in:

  • Username: eda@jortilles.com
  • Password: default

If you’re on Windows, you can grab a Windows bundle from SourceForge. Download the latest package, unzip it, and execute run_eda.bat to get started.

This application requires Node.js LTS to run properly, so ensure that you have it installed.

Building Stunning Dashboards

With EDA, we are promised beautiful dashboards that deliver insights at a glance. Here’s a glance at what you can achieve:

Troubleshooting

As with any software, you might encounter a few bumps down the road. Here are some troubleshooting tips:

  • If MongoDB is not connecting, ensure it is running on your local machine and that you’re pointing to the correct database URL.
  • If you face issues with starting the API or APP, double-check that all packages are installed correctly.
  • Remember, if you have any locked files or processes, be sure to restart your system or the relevant application.
