Generally, there is only one hosted Scholar-Watch needed for each group, as they can customize their own registered authors in their fields. So here is the way for self-host.

# (recommended)create a conda env, you should install conda/miniconda first
conda create -n streamlit python=3.7
conda activate streamlit
# install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
# config the config.ini
# make sure your host could visit Google Scholar. maybe https_proxy needed.
## (1) if host server could, then set mode = server
## (2) if host server could not, then set https_proxy and set mode = local
# run Scholar-Watcher app
streamlit run 1_🏠_Scholar_Watcher.py # which is the home page
