Unable to run on my machine

[mihailthebuilder]

Hi there! I can't run the example script on my local machine.

Steps I took:

• Run git clone git@github.com:mihailthebuilder/fbjs.git && cd fbjs/example.
• Run npm install inside the example folder.
• Run this as per the README:

  FACEBOOK_USERNAME="<your_facebook_username>" FACEBOOK_PASSWORD="<your_facebook_password>" FACEBOOK_2FA_CODE="<facebook_2fa_code>" FACEBOOK_GROUP_ID="<ffacebook_group_id>" npm start

• I get a number of errors above caused by the fact that I don't have the packages installed.
• Run cd .. && npm install to fix above errors (takes a good few minutes to install)
• Run this again in example folder:

  cd example
  FACEBOOK_USERNAME="<your_facebook_username>" FACEBOOK_PASSWORD="<your_facebook_password>" FACEBOOK_2FA_CODE="<facebook_2fa_code>" FACEBOOK_GROUP_ID="<ffacebook_group_id>" npm start

  but I get a MODULE_NOT_FOUND error

Local environment:

• OS: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
• node 16.13.0
• npm 8.1.0

Is there any chance you could add a Docker image?

Hi @mihailthebuilder,

Thank you for your bug report! Sorry to hear that! I'll check as soon as possible!

• cd fbjs && npm install && rm -rf dist && npm run compile
• cd example && npm install
• Then run it

Thanks @trunghq3101 ! Here's the steps that finally worked:

• Run npm install in the main fbjs folder.
• Delete the dist folder that's subsequently created.
• Run npm run compile. This won't work if you don't delete the dist folder because the compiler will throw errors that it can't overwrite input files:

• Run npm install in the example folder
• You can now run the crawler with the README command
