installation

[NiniWang]

I am tring to use the browser to make a comparetive epegenomic browser and also load different track from different species using two differet species genomes that you don't have on the browser database. Is it possible to do that following the document? I just met some bugs at very first step to install the browser. See the screenshot below,

I checked the configuration of the webpack webpack.config.js, there is nothing about the "query". Should I use a specific version of webpack? Or how could I fix this problem? Thanks

Hi @NiniWang typescript 3.4.5 should work, sorry this version is a bit old. Or you can download this file, after decompress, run npm start directly. if you are using node v18, type export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider before npm start

[NiniWang]

Thank you for your reply. I downloaded the file that you sent, and run npm start. I think this problem fixed, but I met a new problem. And I intalled this react-app-rewired by npm install react-app-rewired@1.x --save-dev, but after this all the other packages be installed again and replaces packages inside frontend folder that I already have, causing the first problem again. How could I solve this problem?

Hi @NiniWang can you try this? after decompressing the zip file I sent to you, go to that folder, run sudo npm install -g react-app-rewired, then npm start. let's see if it works.

Hi Daofeng, sorry to bother you again. I run sudo npm install -g react-app-rewired, but I got an erro. Then I try npx create-react-app my-app, it works. I run npm start again. But the port 3000 can not be opened, and is replaced by port 3001. There is nothing on port3001.

[lidaof]

when you see the screen says you can view my-app in the browser means the app is running on 3001 port, you should see something if you open localhost:3001 on that time, do you see blank or error?

[NiniWang]

Yes, but it's blank

[lidaof]

this is correct, as you are creating a blank app using create-react-app.

how about try run npm start in the frontend folder I sent to you?

[NiniWang]

I think I got the right port, but there is still nothing on the website and some error message.

[lidaof]

if you open https://172.29.230.16 can you see anything?

[NiniWang]

no, there is same information with the 3000/browser

i might need to remotely see your computer to troubleshoot, do you think we could setup a zoom meeting some time?

[NiniWang]

if it's possible that will be great! could i have your wechat number? maybe it's easy for us to setup a meeting. my wechat number _Nini2020_

[lidaof]

issue seems resolved through zoom meeting, closed for now.
