In the ever-evolving landscape of AI, the ability to annotate data effectively is crucial. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, the hosted version of Cloud Annotations (cloud.annotations.ai) is no longer available. However, fear not! You can still achieve similar functionality by running Cloud Annotations on your local file system. This guide will walk you through the necessary steps.
Getting Started with Cloud Annotations Locally
To run Cloud Annotations locally, you will need to set up the environment and utilize the experimental Iris project.
Steps to Set Up Cloud Annotations Locally
- Clone the Repository: Begin by cloning the Iris project repository from GitHub.
- Install Dependencies: Make sure to install all necessary dependencies outlined in the project’s documentation.
- Run the Application: Launch the application locally following the instructions in the documentation.
Understanding the Process with an Analogy
Think of setting up Cloud Annotations like preparing a cozy cafe for your friends. You begin by finding the perfect location (cloning the repository) where you can create a warm atmosphere. Next, you gather all the ingredients (installing dependencies) needed to brew your favorite coffee. Lastly, you open the doors (run the application) and invite your friends to enjoy the delightful ambiance you’ve created. Just like this, running Cloud Annotations locally requires a few essential steps to create a functional environment.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
As with any setup, you may encounter a few bumps along the road. Here are some troubleshooting ideas:
- Dependency Errors: Ensure that all the libraries required by the Iris project are correctly installed. Check the version numbers and compatibility.
- Application Not Running: Verify that you’re in the right directory and that you’re running the correct command to start the application.
- Network Issues: If you have difficulties connecting to any external API or resources, ensure your internet connection is stable.
