Can't get this to work on Windows 7 #19

Closed kingluddite closed 12 years ago

kingluddite commented 12 years ago

Can someone be kind to the windows users and provide a step by step for us? I see other Window users found a solution but I could not follow their explanation. Any tips would be much appreciated.

What exactly doesn’t work? Do you see any errors? Have you installed the server? Have you run it?

Thanks for the quick reply.

After I install node.js, I don't know how to start the server as when I type all the code in the command prompt I just get errors. I feel like I'm missing a step. Any help is much appreciated.

Nikata,

You are awesome for trying to help me. Thank you for your kindness.

Let me try to make you see that I think I followed all of the steps and then maybe you can point out the silly mistake I made. (I have a Mac and demonstrated to my class how your extension works. It was fairly straight forward on a Mac, the only problem I had, was I had to use the 'sudo' command to get it to work. I then just entered 'autosave' in the Terminal and I was off to the races.

But the PC, on the other hand, is not as intuitive with this process.

  1. Open chrome://flags/ and enable Experimental Extension APIs
    • done (see screenshot)

    • I restarted my Chrome browser
  2. Downloadhttp://userscripts.ru/js/chrome-devtools-autosave/latest.crx the extension and install it
    • I did this (screenshot of my chrome extensions)
    • [image: image.png]
    • Install Node.js http://nodejs.org/ if you dont already have it. (done)
  3. Oh! It works!!!!

Wow. I was going to send you an email with a question and because I went through the steps, step by step and somehow I figured it out.

Sorry for the question that I should have figured out on my own but in penance for my mistake, I'll do a screencast on the install for pc and mac and make sure to give you credit for you're hard work.

Cheers!
