Examples don't run out of the box. about jsqubits HOT 5 CLOSED

FYI, as far as just trying it out, examples look to be running fine here.

Sorry @scottbyrns, the last github release was a bit broken. Unfortunately, no one had pointed that out to me.

Also, the instructions for running the examples needed updating. The migration to ES6 has made things more complicated than I anticipated.

Arrrgg... having just made a new release, I have just realised that the README.md in the examples/algorithms is still missing the vital point that you need to still run npm install.

Unfortunately, the ES6 stuff seems to mean I can't just upload a version with the dist directory. I will look further into how I can make this a little easier.

For now, you should find you can download the latest release and then try the following (you will need at least version 6.3.0 of npm and v8.9.4 of node):

npm install
npm run-script example examples/algorithms/deutsch.js

or

npm install
node --require babel-core/register examples/algorithms/deutsch.js

from jsqubits.

This should also work with the new release v1.0.1

$ npm install
$ node
> qubits = require('./dist/es/index.js').default
> qubits('|0101>').hadamard(qubits.ALL).toString()

from jsqubits.

@scottbyrns : What would you consider sufficient for this? Is it OK to require users to:

• install node/npm
• run npm install
• then npm run-script example examples/algorithms/deutsch.js

If so, then hopefully my updates to the README files is sufficient.

Or were you hoping for executables that could run on Linux, Macos, and Windows?

I am reluctant to include the dist folder in the github releases. Instead, the documentation has been updated to make it clear that you need to run npm install before use.

The dist folder is included in the npm bundle published to npmjs.com.
