Installation problem #30

Open WuerfelDev opened 6 years ago

WuerfelDev commented 6 years ago

I don't see where the error is, maybe someone can have a look. Here is the verbose output of npm install: https://paste.ee/p/3CMuS

I'm sorry that I can't describe the problem :disappointed:

I just found https://github.com/koush/electron-chrome/issues/24 so I updated node to 8.5 and npm to 5.3. But after another try to install it still didn't worked. Seems to be another problem(?)

Did not work for me either.

You need to run npm install -g electron or yarn global add electron

salgadobreno commented 6 years ago

Thanks @MTRNord. It seems both commands do not add executables to path... I was able to make it work w/ yarn global add electron and then running the executable in ~/.yarn/bin/electron(now symlinked to my /usr/bin), with npm I couldn't find an executable anywhere. Maybe the instructions could be added to the project documentation ;)

In addition to MTRNord's comment, you can find the executable electron using #find / -iname electron -executable In my case: /home/userphillip/electronecrome/node_modules/.bin/electron worked perfect ;-). (P.s. you need to have a working 'node' command to execute javascript on your local computer).

PhillipBoegh commented 6 years ago

If you prefer 'electron' to work on a local app, you need where the /path-to/chromeAPP refers to. That place I have not found - any idea/examples, what directory the chrome apps could be?

More help for download and installation of the 'vysor' app to chrome (for remote controll of androids phones on computers), is available at: https://github.com/koush/vysor.io/issues/242 and of cause at: vysor.io ;-) Using "vysor" you can even recover files from a broken Android phone: https://youtu.be/8j0N9bndQUE - and probably easier when already installed?

This command worked for me:

sudo npm install -g electron --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root
