Install echarts using github link

[sgurin]

Version

4.8.0

Steps to reproduce

I was trying to install echarts using GitHub link https://github.com/apache/incubator-echarts#4.8.0 and there is no any lib folder. Also, missing main directive for NPM.

What is expected?

Ok

What is actually happening?

ERROR Failed to compile with 49 errors

If package was downloaded via NPM it has lib folder. Unfortunately I cannot use NPM. What I am doing wrong?

Unfortunately I cannot use NPM Package. Is there any way to install plugin thrown link? For example npm install https://github.com/apache/incubator-echarts#4.8.0

[HHHui]

maybe just use dist/echarts.min.js or use cdn https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/echarts/4.8.0/echarts.min.js ?

So, there is no way to install echarts via NPM by direct link to the GitHub repo?

npm install https://github.com/apache/incubator-echarts#4.8.0

@sgurin It can be installed as follows.

npm install https://github.com/apache/incubator-echarts.git#4.8.0

Ok. Why the packages are different?

There is lib folder if I install echarts npm install echarts https://prnt.sc/tvhazs but via GitHub link it is not there https://prnt.sc/tvhbiz

[plainheart]

The lib folder is generated after building.
Installing from Github link is just to clone the repository without a release building, so this is different from NPM.
But you are still able to run the release command in the root of echarts to generate the lib folder.

npm run release

Hope that helps.

Yeap, That exactly what I asked for.
