Error building

[SteveEdson]

First of all, this looks awesome. Cannot wait to use it.

I've followed the example, but I'm getting an error:

$ npm install

Along with an electron pop up saying:

The app provided is not a valid electron app, please read the docs on how to write one:
https://github.com/atom/electron/tree/master/docs

Error: Cannot find module '/Users/Steve/Downloads/photon-0.1-alpha/example-components'

I realise it might just be because I haven't set anything up yet, I just presumed a basic boilerplate would work from the start.

This has been my experience as well. See below:

Ditto on the dialog box.

Submitted PR that fixes the Photon build issue. See: #11.

In the meantime, you can just adjust that on your own cloned repo and it should work/build, @SteveEdson. 👍

[connors]

👍 Fixed in #11.

[SteveEdson]

Awesome, thanks.
