Running this tool locally can be difficult in some instances. It has many dependencies that need to be installed through various commands like
pip install pipenv
andpipenv install
in addition to installing the Spacy models.This hassle can be avoided for the user by simply using a Docker image to create and run a container. Instead of ensuring that the Python environment has all the dependencies, the user can run the tool simply by downloading the image and then running it with a
docker run
command. This feature would also make it easier to host this tool on a cloud platform to potentially be accessed easily. This feature should build on what #31 discusses. Specifically, thepip install
command can be run inside the container to get all the needed files.Useful resources:
