This repository holds the re-write and working implementation of the interface and code for reconstructing Proto-Burmese, as found here:
Xun Gong, & Nathan Hill. (2020). Materials for an Etymological Dictionary of Burmish. Zenodo. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4311182
To run while developing (with Python 3), follow these steps: (Untested on Windows, works fine on Mac and Linux)
docker compose build
docker compose up
and then (with Node >=14)
cd cognate-app
npm i
npm run dev
# opens interface on localhost:8080
and then run Caddy to connect the interface and API.
caddy run --config Caddyfile.dev
# opens interface at specified port (5002 by default)
You must have libfoma0 and libfoma0-dev installed for the API to work. Note that if you are using the docker container with the API (as you probably should), this shouldn't be a problem.
sudo apt-get install libfoma0 libfoma0-dev

For usage instructions, see USAGE.md.
