Discover is an optimization tool built to work with Rhino Grasshopper. It is being developed by Colidescope as free software with the goal of promoting performance-driven automated design workflows in the architecture, engineering, and construction industries.

To get started with Discover, please download the latest stable release and follow the instructions here: https://colidescope.com/discover

If you'd like to tinker with the source code and test the latest build of Discover, you can compile it yourself from the source code hosted here. To start, clone, fork, or download a .zip file of the master branch of this repository.

1. Install Node JS by going to https://nodejs.org/ and downloading the installer for the latest stable build (v12.14.0 at the time of writing).
2. Open a new Command Prompt window and run npm install -g @angular/cli to install the Angular CLI (command line iterface).
3. cd into the root folder of the Angular app (/discover-ng-app).
4. Run npm install to install the components of the app.
5. In \discover\discover-ng-app\node_modules\@types\chart.js\, replace the file index.d.ts with version found in \discover\discover-ng-app\utils\
6. In the same Command Prompt window, run ng build to build the app. This will create a new folder in the root directory called static that contains a compiled version of the front-end.

1. Open a new Command Prompt window and cd into the root folder of Discover.
2. Run python -m venv env to create a new virtual environment.
3. Run .\env\Scripts\activate.bat to activate the virtual environment.
4. Run pip install -r requirements.txt to install all Python dependencies.
5. Run python server.py to start the server. The app should now be running at http://localhost:5000
