Today I had to SCP(move/copy) Maestro's HTML file over to my EC2 Instance (my AWS Private Webserver) and it turned out that his html file had dependencies and was not stand alone. Because of these dependencies, when I SCP'd the file over, it didn't work on my webserver.
What is stand alone? Stand alone means that a program/code is able to be moved from location to location and will still work. It is not dependent on another program/code in order to run correctly.
What is a dependency? A dependency is when a program/code is dependent on another program/code. For example, if you have an HMTL file that contains images, if you move that HTML file to another location but do not move the image files, then when you try to run that HTML file through a web browser, the images will not render.
I found out that I couldn't just SCP Maestro's HTML file into the root directory of my EC2 Instance because of the file's existing two dependencies. Those dependencies (files) had specific directories that I needed to create in my EC2 Instance first.
In order to create those directories, I needed to issue the "mkdir" command (make directory) in my EC2 Instance. If you look at the picture to the left, you will see the first directory I needed to create is called "collegium". I issued a "cd /var/www/html" command (change directory to my docroot). From there, I started to make my new directories.
<--- See Picture to the left:
The first directory I made was called "collegium". I did this with the "mkdir collegium" command. Then I issued a "cd collegium" command (change directory into collegium). I had to do this because the next directory that needed to be made had to be located in the "collegium" directory. Once in the "collegium" directory, I issued another "mkdir" command, but this time calling the next one "grammar". So it looked like this: "mkdir grammar". Then I "cd grammar", and then once inside "grammar", I "mkdir client". Then I "cd client". Once inside "client", I "mkdir utils". Then I "cd utils". Once inside "utils", I was able to "mkdir recorderjs". Once I finished creating all of the directories in my EC2 Instance, THEN I was able to SCP the two dependency files over to the correct directories.
After doing this and refreshing my browser, the program was working fairly well. The dependencies for Maestro's HTML file were satisfied.
I finally was able to make the round trip (meaning that I started with an image, I created XML files based off of the image, I now have the program customized for my EC2 instance (webserver) that reads the XML I created, and it renders that same image that I started out with . 👊
If you would like to view Maestro's HTML file that I SCP'd into my EC2 Instance that has those 2 dependencies:
The BEFORE Image (where I took the information from to markup in XML)
Now click the "ok" button. To the left you will see "Select User Name". Click that and scroll down to select "lisa". For "Choose Unit", select "unit 15". For "Start Frame #", put a "2" in the box. You will now be able to view a sample of what the Artes Latinae project is and what I have been working on with Maestro!
