How to run the server from source-build (documentation out of date?)

Following the instructions for installing from source, and the usage documentation.

pip install -e .
python -m visdom.server

No module named visdom.server

This makes sense, looking at the directory structure of the project. So… how do I run the server, having installed from master? The demo is pretty much useless running off of the pip-build.

Thank you! I’m planning to make my liveplot (which is very young, but really useful) project support visdom , instead of solely matplotlib.

Alright putting the change in now, but it could take a little bit to push through our pipeline. Replace the assert with:

    startup_sec = 1
    while not viz.check_connection() and startup_sec > 0:
        time.sleep(0.1)
        startup_sec -= 0.1
    assert viz.check_connection(), 'No connection could be formed quickly'

if you want to run the demo with no issues right now (that’s the extent of the change)
