Won't build (command not found: install-app-deps)

JonathanReeve commented 7 years ago

Hi everyone! I'm subscribed to the old Infinite Library repo from the first hackathon, so I get all the notifications. Since this project looks super interesting, I thought I'd build it and give it a try. Sadly, I just can't figure out how to get it to build. Here's what I've tried:

git clone https://github.com/InfiniteLibrary/infinite-electron
cd infinite-electron
yarn

and here's what I get:

$ yarn
yarn install v0.20.0
[1/4] Resolving packages...
success Already up-to-date.
$ concurrently "install-app-deps" "node node_modules/fbjs-scripts/node/check-dev-engines.js package.json"

error Command failed with exit code 1.

I tried npm install -g install-app-deps, and that gives me the executable install-app-deps, but then I get the same error as above, even after restarting the session.

Hi @JonathanReeve! What versions of Node & NPM (and what OS) are you running? I just did a fresh install on a mac and was able to build successfully, but you probably have some slight differences in setup that we aren't handling properly.

Try yarn install first, and then yarn run dev. You shouldn't need the install-app-deps as a global.

Also, if you want to see the (very rough / beta) app without having to build it, you an download one of the images in the Releases tab to start.

This is what I get with yarn install:

Here are my versions:

$ node --version && npm --version
v7.6.0
4.4.1

And system information:

Despite the error messages, though, it almost works when I run yarn run dev. I can read a few books! Neat project.
