Puzzled on how to preview project
Closed this issue · 6 comments
I cloned the project and did npm install.
The README states:
To preview the components, add a symlink that points to Montage at
/node_modules/montageand then you should see them if you visit/overviewon your local server.
Why do this if you are using npm? Am I missing a command? Do I need a specific server?
With npm install there's really no need for the symlink. We need to review the instructions in the README as they seem outdated now.
At one point in time the Montage project was not using npm.
I saw a blank page.
This was on a local Apache webserver.

Ok, updated the READMEhttps://github.com/montagejs/digit/blob/master/README.md
Regardless, hopefully soon we can put them live somewhere?
@Wolfr https://github.com/Wolfr After doing npm install, when you go to [path
to digit]/overview on your local server, you don't see a list with all
the components?—

Hmm.. any complaints in the console?
Tried it again and it works. Glitch in the system? In any case I would
remove the part about symlinking from the readme and maybe make a note
about Pythons server
$ cd ~/targetdir$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer
Now I guess if you are exploring this you are technical enough to know
what a web server is but clarity never hurts

Ohh.. great. Yes, removed the symlinking from the README. Thanks for pointing that out.
