Make flex npm install-able

[Fohlen]

We should make flex a globally install-able package via npm install This involves

• convert git submodules into a way they can be configured (like media repositories)
• adding all files to the files, dictionaries, dictionaries.lib config variables
• offering config variables for various elements, such as port, location..
• adding inexor as a bin into the package.json

That way we could use Flex (and thereby Inexor) in a really simple matter in the future

npm install @inexor-game/inexor-flex
inexor-flex # <-- this will start flex and the web server, wohoo

# if you like to have a specific version of flex,
npm install @inexor-game/inexor-flex@VERSION

[Fohlen]

This will also

• deprecate the inexor_unix and inexor.bat

[Croydon]

How does that deprecate inexor_unix and inexor.bat? We still need one-click files which are executing the start command for users.

[Fohlen]

well, in that case you can simply inexor-flex instance start 31415 from the command line..

[Fohlen]

I have thought about your comment again. Providing a desktop shortcut to inexor-flex instance start 31415 will be much easier / more comfortable for the user than a bash script.

whats to do on this one? :)

[Fohlen]

@a-teammate still depends on #450 which was previously assigned to @aschaeffer I am working on it, however it will take some more time..

[aschaeffer]

Good morning :-)

What's the state of this issue? Successfully implemented?

[Fohlen]

Yes. Please test wether it works extensively.
