Hi thanks for live streaming, it really helps me to play with reason 😍 . I try to start this but get following error.

still not sure how to fix this. I installed npm 4 as you suggested or yarn, but the build still failed.

Hey! Could you check that there is a folder called caml in Users/Me/weekend/reason/learningReprocessing/FlappyBird/node_modules/bs-platform/vendor/ocaml/lib/ocaml? Also do you have ocaml installed globally through opam? Do you have Reason-cli? Not sure what’s going on here yet.

There's no lib in Users/Me/weekend/reason/learningReprocessing/FlappyBird/node_modules/bs-platform/vendor/ocaml/

Yes, I have reasoncli and ocaml installed. The version of Ocaml installed is 4.02.3

What OS are you using?

Did the install process go smoothly? This looks like master of bsb-native... Here's what's supposed to be in /vendor/ocaml when using the release of bsb-native #2.1.1 :

node_modules/bs-platform/vendor/ocaml/
├── bin
├── lib
├── ocamlc.opt
└── ocamlopt.opt

Ok I was able to repro, and I pushed a fix https://github.com/bsansouci/reasongl/commit/616a193eff6386b30639cb1771d5e8a932158782 try it now. Make sure to nuke node_modules and any lock files.

Yes install process goes as usual. No error produced while using yarn or npm, I use macOS Sierra version 10.12.4.
