Streamlit Quick-Start
This quick-start will guide you through packaging your python app with Streamlit and deploying it to Health Universe. You will need to have a GitHub account to create your repository.
Step 1: Create a GitHub repository
- Create a new repository on GitHub to host your project. You can make the repository either public or private, and it is a good idea to have a readme.md file in the repository and use a .gitignore template so that you can ignore the .env. This is important when you're linking a local development environment to a github repository. - Note: If you're using a local development environment, link your local environment to your GitHub repository 
- Clone the repository to your local machine: - git clone https://github.com/<your_account>/<your_repo_name>.git
- Change to your project directory: - cd <your_repo>
- Create a virtual environment using: - python -m venv .env
- Activate your virtual environment with: - source .env/bin/activate
- Upgrade pip to make sure things go smoothly: - python -m pip install --upgrade pip
- Install the streamlit library with: - pip install streamlit
If you're using ChatGPT (or editing directly into GitHub)
You will need to have at minimum a main.py file, and a requirements.txt file. you can copy/paste code into these files directly in GitHub.
- Create a main.py file in your repository. This is where your code should reside. 
import streamlit as st
st.title("Welcome to Health Universe!")
st.write("This is a sample application.")
alarm_clock = st.slider('hour', 0, 23, 17) # min: 0h, max: 23h, default: 17h
st.header(alarm_clock) # print in large text- Create a requirements.txt file. For streamlit, it should include (at a minimum) Streamlit as a requirement. 
streamlit
# Include any other libraries required by your app.Make sure that you commit any changes that you make before you deploy with health universe.
Step 2: Create your python app within your local environment
In your local repository, create the following files:
- main.py: This file should contain your Python model. 
- requirements.txt: This file will list your project dependencies. 
Next, learn a little bit about how Streamlit works.
- Overview of the main concepts for creating UI with Streamlit. 
- Here's a nifty cheat sheet for all the interface elements you can create. 
main.py
import streamlit as st
st.title("Welcome to Health Universe!")
st.write("This is a sample application.")
alarm_clock = st.slider('hour', 0, 23, 17) # min: 0h, max: 23h, default: 17h
st.header(alarm_clock) # print in large textrequirements.txt
streamlit
# Include any other libraries required by your app.Test out your app by running it locally:
Run your app locally using: streamlit run main.py
Step 3: Deploy to Health Universe
- Push your local repo to GitHub. 
- Log in or create a Health Universe account if you haven't already. 
- Go to https://healthuniverse.com and navigate to "Apps." 
- Click "Add App" to create a new app. 
- Fill out the following fields: - App Name: Name of your app 
- Description: A brief description of your app 
- Github Account: Your GitHub username 
- Github Repo: The exact name of your GitHub repository 
- Main File: The name of your python file (usually - main.py)
 
- Click "Add App" to deploy your app. This process may take a few minutes. 
Once you've completed these steps, your app will be published on Health Universe!
