The Glean dictionary aims to provide a comprehensive index of datasets generated inside Mozilla for newer applications using the Glean SDK.
This project is under active development and documentation is presently incomplete. For now, please see the project proposal for more details on the Glean Dictionary's ambitions and goals.
You should be able to create your own local copy of the dictionary so long as you have Python (version 3.8) and node.js installed. Follow these instructions:
# Create and activate a python virtual environment.
python3 -m venv venv/
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Build data needed by dashboard
./scripts/build-glean-metadata.py
# Install npm dependencies and start a local
# instance of the GUI
npm install
npm run dev
If that worked, you should be able to see a local version of Glean at http://localhost:5000
