I'm guessing it was originally designed for computers where you knew what drives would exist?

It makes it not great for running on other users PCs though. Maybe just have it mkdir in the location it was run from, and populate that with the required assets

mmckegg commented 6 years ago

Weird, I have no idea what the error is about! Did you try to go to http://localhost:9966 manually?

What OS are you running?

This is also available online at https://mmckegg.github.io/web-audio-school/

skratchdot commented 6 years ago

Guessing it's probably this line: https://github.com/mmckegg/web-audio-school/blob/master/run.js#L10. A cross-os solution to opening things could be: https://github.com/sindresorhus/opn

But like @mmckegg said, it'd be easiest to just use the online version. Of couse you could try out a fix by running npm install opn locally, then changing line 10 to:

require('opn')('http://localhost:9966')

and seeing if things work

mmckegg commented 6 years ago

Oh yeah, that open URL will definitely be it!

Pull request accepted to use opn! 😆

skratchdot commented 6 years ago

Haha. Okay, I'll do it. I was being super lazy, but just tested the change locally. PR in a sec.

GeorgeWL commented 6 years ago

awesome. so all working in the updated then?

Windows 10 is the OS btw. Localhost doesn't load.

mostly wanted to run locally cause I prefer coding in my editor, rather than on an input in browser.

skratchdot commented 6 years ago

@GeorgeWL - Can you try installing v1.3.1 and seeing if it works on Windows 10? I only confirmed it still works on OSX, but couldn't test Windows (just confirmed that run.js looked like it should work to me).

GeorgeWL commented 6 years ago

through npm or direct from here @skratchdot ?

skratchdot commented 6 years ago

I meant via npm:

npm install web-audio-school -g

Then start it:

web-audio-school
