# For the first time (or when you change where you put things), 
# please set the paths to server.py and 
# the corpus data (the folder where you put docx files in)

#DOCX_FOLDER_PATH = r'C:\Users\liao\Desktop\Linguistic_Fieldwork'
# On Mac, should be something like:
#SERVER_SCRIPT_PATH = r'/Users/liao/corpus_processor/server.py'
#DOCX_FOLDER_PATH = r'/Users/liao/Desktop/Linguistic_Fieldwork'
# On Linux, should be something like:
SERVER_SCRIPT_PATH = r'/home/liao/corpus_processor/server.py'
