VueGen automates the creation of reports based on a directory with plots, dataframes, and other files in different formats. A YAML configuration file is generated from the directory to define the structure of the report. Users can customize the report by modifying the configuration file, or they can create their own configuration file instead of passing a directory as input.

The configuration file specifies the structure of the report, including sections, subsections, and various components such as plots, dataframes, markdown, html, and API calls. Reports can be generated in various formats, including documents (PDF, HTML, DOCX, ODT), presentations (PPTX, Reveal.js), notebooks (Jupyter) or [Streamlit](streamlit) web applications.

We have a simple GUI for VueGen that can be run locally or through a standalone executable.
140+
For now you will need to have a copy of this repository.

We recommend using miniforge to install Python and the conda package manager:
160+
161+
- [conda-forge.org/download/](https://conda-forge.org/download/)
162+
163+
We continous our example assuming you have installed the `miniforge` distribution for your
164+
machine (MacOS with arm64/ apple silicon or x86_64/ intel or Windows x86_64). Also download
165+
the [latest `vuegen_gui` bundle](https://github.com/Multiomics-Analytics-Group/vuegen/releases/latest)
166+
from the releases page according to your operating system.
167+
168+
```bash
169+
conda create -n vuegen_gui -c conda-forge python=3.12 jupyter
170+
conda info -e # find environment location
171+
```
172+
173+
Find the vuegen_gui path for your local `user`.
174+
175+
On **MacOS** you need to add a `bin` to the path:
176+
177+
```bash
178+
/Users/user/miniforge3/envs/vuegen_gui/bin
179+
```
180+
181+
On **Windows** you can use the path as displayed by `conda info -e`:
182+
183+
> Note: On Windows a base installation of miniforge with `jupyter` might work as well as
184+
> the app can see your entire Path which is not the case on MacOS.
185+
186+
```bash
187+
C:\Users\user\miniforge3\envs\vuegen_gui
188+
```
189+

Once a Streamlit report is generated, it can be deployed as a web application to make it accessible online. There are multiple ways to achieve this:
176215

177-
* **Streamlit Community Cloud**: Deploy your report easily using [Streamlit Cloud][st-cloud], as demonstrated in the [EMP VueGen Demo][emp-st-demo]. The process involves moving the necessary scripts, data, and a requirements.txt file into a GitHub repository. Then, the app can be deployed via the Streamlit Cloud interface. The deployment example is available in the `streamlit-report-example` branch.
178-
* **Standalone Executables**: Convert your Streamlit application into a desktop app by packaging it as an executable file for different operating systems. A detailed explanation of this process can be found in this [Streamlit forum post][st-forum-exe].
179-
* **Stlite**: Run Streamlit apps directly in the browser with [stlite][stlite], a WebAssembly port of Streamlit powered by Pyodide, eliminating the need for a server. It also allows packaging apps as standalone desktop executables using stlite desktop.
