Getting window is not defined error.

[kash0296]

I am trying to use react-shepherd in a project. When I try to build it locally, I get this error, saying window is not defined. I am using react 16.3

@kash0296 sounds like you are using server side rendering, where there is no window.

[kash0296]

@rwwagner90 actually yes. How can I get this to work with an app that uses server side rendering?

@kash0296 this thread has many options for you vercel/next.js#2473. You need to only run Shepherd client side.
