ciRNA GA Webapp

This Next.js app provides a simple UI to run your existing Python ciRNA GA scripts and display their exact stdout.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• Python 3 (available as python3)
• ViennaRNA RNAfold in PATH (the scripts call RNAfold)
  • macOS (Homebrew): brew install viennarna

Start the app

cd webapp
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000

Usage

• Select which Python script to run (default: script_final.py).
• Optionally enter space-separated args (passed after the script name).
• Click Run. The API spawns python3 /Users/konstantinosdaniilidis/Desktop/igem2025/<script> and returns stdout/stderr.

Notes

• Long runs: The request stays open until the Python process exits and returns the full stdout.
• Pathing: The API runs from the Next.js app and resolves your repo root (igem2025) automatically.
• Change Python binary: set PYTHON_BIN env in process.env (and update the spawn command) if needed.
