Issue installing/running on Windows 10 #39

Closed samiff closed 7 years ago

Problem description: Install process cmd results: https://gist.github.com/samiff/ea037fe173405ae3e864a2bd824dd579 Following along from this FEM video.

I'm able to run npm start dev eventually and the site loads up, but no API data loads because the database has been created but empty. I'm a new developer used to dealing with scripts from a package.json, so I'm unsure where to troubleshoot from here. Could the following be part of the problem?

generating and inserting data with `cd api && ./node_modules/.bin/babel-node scripts/generate`
'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Hi @samiff!

If you could run all the scripts in Bash for Windows that would be best. If you can't do that for some reason, then try running this instead:

cd api && node_modules/.bin/babel-node scripts/generate

I think that should work...

Good luck!

Thanks Kent, got the database populated now by manually running those steps that failed with the ". is not recognized..." manually.

Wonderful! I'm glad you got it to work!
