Research direction

Start with neuron_explainer/activation_server/main.py and compare the server command's port 8000 with the error's current URL at port 8002 and the client environment setting. Run the supplied server and client commands, then verify that the client can look up model information successfully.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Error: Unable to look up model info. Are you sure you're running an activation server for this dataset? Current URL: http://localhost:8002

server start as the command:
python neuron_explainer/activation_server/main.py --run_model False --port 8000

NEURON_VIEWER_ACTIVATION_SERVER_URL=http://localhost:8000 npm start
