Julia, packages and this repo:

1. download and add julia into path
2. run julia in cmd/shell/terminal and you will enter julia REPL-mode

shell> julia 

3. enter julia Pkg REPL-mode

julia> ]

4. install packages

(@v1.9) pkg> add Dash PlotlyJS JSON3 PackageCompiler PlotlyBase

5. download this repo

KataGo, Leela-Zero, GNU Go: (If you don't have them yet...)

• KataGo: download its engine and a network
• Linux(Debian/Ubuntu):
  1. sudo apt update -y
  2. sudo apt install leela-zero gnugo
  3. download a network of Leela-Zero

1. edit data/config.toml to indicate the command of running a bot, the directory where to run the command and a name to call it, e.g.

["ko"]
cmd = "./katago gtp -model elo9000.txt.gz"
dir = "../KataGoOpenCL/"

Note: DO NOT use -q in Leela-Zero's command, since showboard will GONE.

2. run src/terminal.jl with a bot's name, e.g.

shell> julia src/terminal.jl ko

3. wait until

[ Info: GTP ready 

4. type following strings to play a Go game

1 play B k10    # (id) command arguments
2 genmove W    # see GoTextProtocol for details
3 showboard
genmove B
5 play W c3
10 showboard
...
3 final_score
quit

1. run app.jl

shell> julia app.jl

2. wait until

[ Info: Listening on: 0.0.0.0:8050

3. open one(only one) browser and type localhost:8050 in the address bar to play
4. type exit in terminal to exit the program

Because Android phones are arm and not x86-64, you need more steps:

1. download and install Termux
2. install ubuntu in termux
3. download julia for Generic Linux on ARM, Note: instead of x86-64, use aarch64 or armv7l
4. download and compile KataGo engine via 9 commands

Now the same as on x86-64.
