Add documentation for local deploy about algorithm-visualizer HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi Christian,

I've been working on rewriting the entire project for major changes, and I regret to tell you that I may not be able to write documentation for local deployment and contribution until I finish rewriting it.

I haven't tested running it on Linux though, based on your log, the error seems to be caused by process.env.LANG having an inappropriate value. It should have either undefined or '' in order to work properly. I believe it is because Linux already uses the environmental variable LANG, so I may need to change the code to use another unique variable name than LANG. I will get back to you once I fix it in a few days.

Thank you for letting me know.

Hi @parkjs814,

It's ok, thanks for your help.

I have uset the env variable LANG:

$ unset LANG

The installation goes further, but I still get an error (see the full log):

If you think it would not be useful to keep debugging this and I should wait for your rewrite, let me know.

Thank you!

Hi @CristianCantoro and @zmwxiaoming, I just finished testing on Ubuntu 18.04 and fixed errors including the one @CristianCantoro mentioned. Thanks for waiting! Also, I will be working on writing documentation soon.
