Open alphapapa opened 1 year ago
I also just tried to follow the instructions in the README and it just gives errors. While I am a developer, I'm not a web dev and so I'm not (yet?) familiar with npm
to immediately know what to do. It would be nice to have instructions that can be followed and "just work" (or at least, have enough hints as to what to do when they don't).
Edit: Unlike @alphapapa above, I was able to just type npm install
and it was able to start with no further action. Also, I see that package.json
includes via-keyboards
as a dependency, so I'd expect it to be automatically installed. Maybe something was preventing it from being installed when @alphapapa tried, and it was fixed?
Anyways, I'd suggest adding instructions to run npm install
in the README.md.
Hello,
The instructions in the readme say to run
npm run start
ornpm run build
. After checking out the git repo and running those commands, errors are encountered because the dependencies have not yet been installed. So:npm install
first.After doing that, the former commands proceed further, but they still fail because the keyboard definitions are not present, and there is no
via-keyboards
command which can be run by this repo's scripts. I've checked out the keyboards repo into a sibling directory, but it's not found by this repo's scripts, and there are no directions for how to integrate the keyboard definitions into this repo's build system. So:Lacking these instructions, it doesn't seem possible to build this project, and therefore it doesn't seem possible to use this app offline or from local files.
Thanks for your work on this project.
