The motivation for these scripts was to address a common customer request for an offline installation of Orange3, the Open Source machine learning and visualization tool along with their Orange3 Text Addon and the Orange3 Time Series Addon.
In order to do this, we still require a staging environment that is connected to the internet to download all the necessary packages and dependencies (via the prepare.bat script) and copy these supporting artifacts over to the target air-gapped environment(s) and running the deploy.bat script.
WARNING!! The PowerShell scripts are called with the Execution Policy set to Bypass. Run them at your own risk only after you have understand what the code in the scripts do.This is a two-phased deployment. For the first phase, we require a machine that has Internet access. For the second phase, the target environment does not need Internet access at all. Currently these scripts are only tested on Windows 10 x64 environments.
We require Anaconda3 to be installed on both the staging environment and the target environment.
git clone [email protected]:najibninaba/orange3-offline-install.git
cd orange3-offline-install
prepare.bat
Once the above set of commands have completed, copy the whole contents of the orange3-offline-install directory to the target environment(s).
Alternatively, you can copy to a central network location, however this method has not been tested yet.
On the target environment, run the following commands. Internet access is no longer required at this point:
cd orange3-offline-install
deploy.bat
Once the above commands have completed, there should be an Orange3 shortcut on the Windows Desktop. To validate the installation, click on the Orange3 shortcut and run the provided workflow (2017-12-14-mas-text-sentimentanalysis-example.ows) found in the Workflows directory. You should be able to view the Word Cloud as well as the Data Table. At this point, Orange3, the Orange3 Text Addon and Orange3 Time Series Addon are ready to be used.
