Beginner question #223

Hello,

I am a beginner to test this program.

Why I see only a hexagon in the web page when running "npm start"?

BR, Terry

What version of node are you running, and what steps did you take during the install?

terrylai commented 9 years ago

Hello,

I am using the following version installing under Ubuntu 14.04.

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ node -v v0.10.33

I followed the steps in the README.md and no npm log is generated during refreshing the web page.

The web server is running through port 9009.

bitcoind is running and also guard for livereload is running at port 35729.

Besides, I tried to install it to a Mac computer but the result is same.

Could anyone give me further information?

BR, Terry

If you are running locally, you are supposed to run npm run dev with additional environment variables as specified in readme. If you read into the task scripts, you can see that run dev compiles the client side bundles aside from starting up the server. You also don't need bitcoind running to run hive-js. Once the server starts serving, there shouldn't be additional log lines as you refresh the web page. As the app is client side heavy, to debug anything, you are better off using the browsers' developer tools
