You need to run the command firebase use --add before running the demo to select a firebase project to use.

Tried about everything, can't get it to work

If you do firebase init in the demo directory, it actually comes up on localhost:5000

But not the entire thing, just the header is visible, and there are multiple errors in the console

So the instructions are flawed....

firebaseui-web-react works out of the box

It works for me and the instruction hasn't been changed for a long time. Did you cd to demo folder before running firebase use --add? If still not working, please try firebase logout and firebase login again and then run firebase use --add.

Can you post your CMD flow

git clone https://github.com/firebase/firebaseui-web.git cd firebaseui-web npm install cd demo firebase use --add // If something goes wrong here, run firebase logout and login again cp public/sample-config.js public/config.js npm run demo
