Error connecting to ws://localhost:9012.

Documentation could clarify how to run this program. Especially, minimum steps to run prebuilt binaries on an empty machine.

Steps to reproduce

• Following README.md, downloaded and uncompressed v0.1.1/wokwi-server-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.zip

• Made it executable and ran it with the command provided in README.md:

  $ wokwi-server --chip esp32 build/blink.elf

Browser opened with Wokwi web GUI.

The bug (what happened): A bar over the page says: "Error connecting to ws://localhost:9012. Please reload the page."

What I expected to happen: I expected the web editor open and run Blink project. (For the error message, I expected guidance how to fix the error).

My use case: Simulate Arduino UNO and ESP32 offline, using Wokwi web interface.

Maybe I should install some prerequisites. Could documentation (README.md) explain the minimum steps to take, when running the prebuilt binaries on an empty machine?

Please file an issue against wokwi for that, I have no control over those messages.

Perhaps you can take a look at the developer console in the web browser and get some more info about the disconnect issue? It's hard to tell what's going on here just from the details provided.
