e-mission-server javascript dependencies #1081

Open catarial opened 3 months ago

catarial commented 3 months ago

I was following the manual install guide for the e-mission server but got stuck on the step to install the javascript dependencies for the web interface.

https://github.com/e-mission/e-mission-docs/blob/master/docs/install/manual_install.md#javascript-dependencies

There is no webapp directory in the repository and no instructions in the guide for installing bower.

However, you are right that the docs have bitrotted. There has not been a web interface for the server since 2022. I removed it in https://github.com/e-mission/e-mission-server/pull/854 but forgot to update the documentation. Please feel free to submit a PR to remove the obsolete instructions.
