npm start doesn't run about heroicgameslauncher HOT 19 CLOSED

Hey guys! Thanks for testing and finding bugs!
I think this is just a lack of information on the README page, I'll improve that.

To be able to run nf you need to install foreman globally first.
So try to put npm i -g foreman on your terminal.

Also, I'll release a debug version to run with the console opened or at least add the option to open dev tools on it.

So just to clarify, if you want just to use the app:

• Download the AppImage
• Install legendary
• install xterm
• chmod +x heroic-0.2.0-beta.AppImage
• ./heroic-0.2.0-beta.AppImage

that should do it.

If you never run legendary before, it will ask you to login, it will open the epic games store, you need to login there and get the SID code. With the SID code, post it on the xterm that opened and the game will download your game list. Sometimes it does not reload the app automatically and I'm investigating why. If not, just close the app and run it again.

If you think is easier, before launch the app run legendary auth on terminal and then legendary list-games.

update: I just updated the README with better instructions on how to run locally and build the app. Tested cloning the repo again and it works.

Really? I still get command not found when I run npm install nf...

EDIT: I see it says unsupported platform?

the warnings for fsevents are expected because fsevents is a package for running it in MacOS which you are not so it says unsupported platform because you are not on MacOS. That is also why is says OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY

It is beta so no big deal eventually itll get aur etc. I checked releases and it has an app image only I tried that logged in via xterm it logged but crashes upon updating game list

from heroicgameslauncher.

It is beta so no big deal

Yea I know but im saying it kinda sucks that it just came out and almost none of the options to make/run it work. I really hope the npm thing gets fixed soon so I can contribute to this, cant make changes currently because well theres no way to run the app after I make em lol. The pre-built AppImage works for me on Ubuntu 20.04 btw

Yeah install foreman manually running from npm start still doesn't work.
Appimage still crashes even after syncing manually with legendary
EDIT: all 3 aur do not work either for me

That's weird. I just installed the same node version as you, 15.5.0. Did an npm i -g foreman and npm install and npm start and it worked perfectly.

How did you install your nodejs? using the package distribution or a tool like NVM and ASDF?
I personally had issues installing node using the official package because global packages need to be installed as root and when executing, some of them needs sudo.

So, today I use ASDF but NVM is also fine and easier to use. And the node stays in your home folder, all global packages stay there.

Give it a try.

the AUR/bin works for me, and I was able to get the dev repo to compile and livereload on filechange without problems. I followed the newly updated readme (yesterday) and everything is working on my end. on linux, at least for me, npm -g won't install anything correctly without sudo.

That's one of the biggest issues with Node, if you're not a regular dev is hard to know that installing it as a global package is one of the worst ideas because using Sudo to install npm packages is a big security issue.

If I were you, I would remove it and then install NVM and install node from there. It works a lot better, and you will not need sudo for anything. 😃

Ok, I'll close it. Try the new info on the README and if it doesn't work you can reach me.
