Windows .exe not opening #25

Open ShahriarKh opened 3 years ago

ShahriarKh commented 3 years ago

I downloaded the latest release & unzipped the file, but I can't open the .exe file. Win 10 64bit

Thanks for reporting this. Would you be able to give an error message or screenshot of what you're seeing to help debug this?

ShahriarKh commented 3 years ago

Well... actually nothing happens to take a screenshot of it :] A small window (without title or anything else... just a rectangle with white border) opens for a fraction of a second and closes really quick!

Could you run the .exe from the command prompt? Does that work? Just running C:\path\to\your\doctave.exe --version for example?

hydescarf commented 2 years ago

Having the same issue on Windows 11, running from command prompt doesn't fix anything. (with --version it just shows the version 0.4.2 on the screen)

That means that it's working. doctave is a CLI application that generates HTML/CSS/JS output, which you open using a webbrowser, no GUI (from doctave, that is) involved.

Thank you for the heads up, it seems I have misunderstood the process. Going through the tutorial again and it is now working as intended.
