Can't run server #99

Closed JohnStraumann closed 6 years ago

JohnStraumann commented 6 years ago

Hi all:

I downloaded on Windows, and extracted the ZIP file to "Downloads\alexa-app-server-master", and ran:

npm install

Which seemed to work, but then when I tried to run:

node server

I get an error: "Error: Cannot find module 'D:\Data\Amazon\alexa-app-server\examples\server\server"

There is a "server" folder in the "examples director"...

Note I am a TOTAL noob, working through the book "Building Voice-Enabled Apps with Alexa"...

Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

John.

This is a library that you can use, but not "download & install". Maybe go through http://code.dblock.org/2017/02/16/building-a-simple-alexa-skill-live-code.html first?

Closing this but feel free to ask more questions.

Thanks for your response, but if this is not "installable", why does the readme.md say this:

Installation


npm install alexa-app-server --save

You can do that, but you don't need to download anything, it gets that from npmjs.org.
