Can't build/run current master

[hartzell]

I'm interested in using space-radar to view data from a remote server. That feature does not appear to be in any of the release versions, so I've tried to build from master. I know next to nothing about electron or the node ecosystem....

I'm on a Mac running OS X 10.11.2

I cloned the repo, ran npm install electron-packager --save-dev, then npm run build. The resulting .app does this when I run it:

npm install electron and then npm run app does this:

hartzelg-UXG8WL:space-radar hartzelg$ npm run app

> space-radar@4.5.0 app /Users/hartzelg/tmp/space-radar
> electron .

App threw an error during load
Error: Cannot find module 'app'
    at Module._resolveFilename (module.js:455:15)
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (/Users/hartzelg/tmp/space-radar/node_modules/electron/dist/Electron.app/Contents/Resources/electron.asar/common/reset-search-paths.js:35:12)

^C

and after npm install standard, running npm run test complains vociferously.

Can you share instructions on how to make this work?

Or, can you release (preview release?) a version that includes the "read data from file" functionality?

Thanks!

v5 builds are out. https://github.com/zz85/space-radar/releases/tag/v5.1.0

For development now, you should run

npm install
npm run install
npm run debug
