Running the app
BryceSteuer opened this issue · 2 comments
What is the standard method to run this app locally? Can I use Visual Studio or nodeJS if so, how? Also I attempted to run it in Chrome by running the given Command Prompt, again to no avail. ps I really appreciate this app, I think it rivals andBible in quality. Keep up the great work
From what I remember you'd just "run the app" by loading the index.html file into your web browser but I think most modern browsers will block using the local file so you may have to experiment with it.
Also, the newest version of this project is located here and has instructions for how to build the project.
Optionally you could use something like http-server or build your own node.js server to serve the HTML file.
Excerpt from http-server docs
Usage:
http-server [path] [options]
[path] defaults to ./public if the folder exists, and ./ otherwise.
Now you can visit http://localhost:8080 to view your server
Note: Caching is on by default. Add -c-1 as an option to disable caching.
Here is a working example if you have a current version of npm and node.js already setup on your machine: npx http-server ./browserbible. There will be other steps required to install the resources but hopefully, this will get you started.
Thank you, I appreciate that.
