Getting Started

1. Download the app
2. Open index.html in your browser
3. Explore the demo catalog to see how it works
4. Replace the demo metadata in /data/db/ with your own (see below)

For a more integrated experience (Start Menu / Dock shortcut, local server auto-starting at login), see Installing on Your Computer.

Replacing the demo metadata

You can populate your own catalog in several ways:

• Edit Excel sources — maintain your metadata in /data/db-source/ as Excel files and sync to /data/db/ with either npm run sync-db (Node.js) or datannurpy (Python). See Managing Your Data.
• Use the datannur builder — datannurpy can also auto-extract metadata by scanning databases and files, writing directly to /data/db/.
• Any other workflow — as long as the output matches the schemas in /public/schemas/, you can generate /data/db/ with any tool or script of your choice.
