Beginner Issues: Install/Run NPM #52

uxjesi commented 6 years ago

Hi all, trying my best to get everything set up. Part I of the tutorial was a breeze. Part II - setting up your computer - I've been lost in the woods for about 2 days now... I keep receiving this error when trying to install NPM after cloning the git. If i try to start I have occasionally been able to get a browser window to show up, but empty screen. This is what showed up in terminal:

Jes-MacBook-Pro:~ jloredo$ git clone https://github.com/alexa/interactive-adventure-game-tool.git Cloning into 'interactive-adventure-game-tool'... remote: Counting objects: 128, done. remote: Total 128 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 128 Receiving objects: 100% (128/128), 187.19 KiB | 558.00 KiB/s, done.

Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks! :)

change the directory to "interactive-adventure-game-tool" after clonning

git clone https://github.com/alexa/interactive-adventure-game-tool.git cd interactive-adventure-game-tool npm install

Hello, I'm also having real trouble in getting the tool to open up. Any help would be much appreciated!
