Documentatin bug?

[PopeNobody]

The building instructions for Ubuntu said to do some apt-gets, and then "npm install node-gtk"

This did not work for me. It complained it could not find '*.node" files when I tried to run even the "hello world" example.

However, when I just did "npm install" in the root of what I had gotten from git, it did work, and I was able to fire up the browser example.

Hope his is helpful to somebody.

Well, I goota say, this is the bee's knees.

Usually example browsers are luky to render a hunk of html properly.

This this looks beautiful, and I logged into githup with ti to make this comment.

Nifty!

@PopeNobody Thanks for the report. I'm glad you loved it. Did you run this in a fresh Node.js project, or in a clone of the node-gtk git repository?

[PopeNobody]

In the node-gtk repository thus far. next step is to figure out how to use it to generate quote images for some of my favorite authors.

Could you post an install log so we see what's going wrong? And the commands you're using to install as well.

The problem is solved, but basically, either I misread, or the docs said to clone the repository, and then do a "npm install node-gtk".

Which, of course, does not make sense, it would install the version from the npm repository, not build the version from github. So the fix was to do "npm install", instead.
