Work in Progress

In general, you want to do this:

1. Admin: Prepare a "NetCreate (Blank)" template
2. Researcher: Clone a new "Unit" from "NetCreate (Blank)"
3. Researcher/Teacher: Clone a new "Project" from the "Unit" T360 template
4. Teacher: Share that "Project" with students

There should already be a "NetCreate (Blank)" template project. If you need to prepare a new one (e.g. because the code needs to be updated) you would deploy a new version to the "NetCreate (Blank)" instance. Assuming you really do want a blank project, you should not need to add any nodes or edges.

A "Unit" is really just a T360 Project that is set to be cloneable. To add starting nodes and edges to a project:

• Import a new NC Template (toml file)
• Import Nodes (from csv)
• Import Edges (from csv)
• Make the project cloneable

To prepare a new project instance from the "Unit" T360 Template, launch a new project from the "Unit" T360 Template. If each classroom/period needs to have their own graph, launch multiple new projects.

Generate tokens and share the tokens with students.

Assuming you have already set up a Turbo360 account...

1. Launch a new project from a template

This will create a curriculum project instance. We will then deploy code changes on top of this instance. And then use this as the jumping off point for cloning additional projects for students.

a. Log in b. Click on "Templates" c. Find a template to use and click "Launch" -- e.g. "net.create (Blank)" d. Give it a name, e.g. "nc_curric_spring2025" -- you will be cloning b. Select "Can Clone"

1. git clone https://github.com/Vertex-Labs/netcreate-itest-turbo360.git
2. cd netcreate-itest-turbo360
3. git checkout turbo360-web-host
4. nvm use
5. npm ci
6. Make sure it runs: ./nc.js --dataset=demo
7. npm run package-turbo360
8. Deploy: npm run deploy-turbo360
9. Select the existing instance to deploy to.
10. Get the URL from the portal: https://portal.turbo360.co/

• Instructions for MEME can be found here: [PR #91](https://github.com/theRAPTLab/meme-2023/pull/91) [ReadMe](https://github.com/theRAPTLab/meme-2023/blob/4850de881b91568b89184dd15bef4dbfdf654ce7/README-Turbo360.md)
• The npm run package-turbo360 script basically does a npm run package first, and then the deploy script copies the /public folder to the /dist/public folder, then npm run deploy-turbo360 uploads the files to Turbo360.
• To look up the name of the project, go to the console and type NC_CONFIG. This will spit out the name of project file:

{dataset: 'demo', port: '3000', googlea: '0'}

• Project database files are in /app-data/ -- these are the files that will be deployed.
  • So to update that you have to run npm run package
  • How do you define which project is active? Use /.nc.js ? does netcreate-config.js show the right project?
• Does this always start with a blank db? And you have to import data?
