In gobbios/avutils: various utilities for DiViMe tools and audio processing

These are instructions for getting the app to work.

To use the DiViMe tools, you'll need access to at least vagrant. Since you managed to install the tool set this should be available by default. If you run this without having ever used the DiViMe tools, you better consult this website (or check out the R function divime_vagrant_setup in this package).

The other tools are required for:

• sox: audio manipulation (split files, get audio info) [not yet implemented in the app]

• ffmpeg: extract audio from video [not yet implemented in the app]

• git: install and/or update VM [not yet implemented in the app]

• python: run evaluation [not yet implemented in the app]

Chances are you have git available, but not necessarily sox, ffmpeg and python. For now this doesn't matter, so you can ignore their absence (because the functionality that requires these programs is not yet implemented in this app (although there are R functions in the package)).

Next, you should set the location of your DiViMe VM, i.e. 'the DiViMe folder', which contains all the tools.

Finally, you need to select the folder with your audio files. Once this is done, you can check the tabs under utilities to see the folder content and any output files generated by DiViMe.

If you run this app for the first time, it's probably a good idea to check out the tests tab, which let's you check whether vagrant works and in which state your VM is. Here, you can also run the DiViMe test script. Note that this takes a while to finish. It's also probably a good idea to clear out the data folder in your DiViMe folder after you ran this test.
