Installation
Pre-built packages are available for some common platforms. If a package is available for your system, you can download the MarkerEditor.vX.X.X-{platform}-{architecture} that matches your system from the latest release and extract the contents to a new folder. If you have been using a previous release, it's recommended to first remove the node_modules folder, and you can overwrite any existing files, as your configuration and backup database won't be affected.
NOTE: Only the Windows x64 package has been heavily vetted. Other platforms only have minimal validation.
docker run -p 3233:3232 \
-v /path/to/config:/Data \
-v /path/to/PlexData:/PlexDataDirectory \
-it danrahn/intro-editor-for-plex:latestSee configuring Docker for more details.
If a pre-built package is not available for your system, or want to build the code yourself, you can follow the steps below.
For this application to run, you need to install Node.js. Either the LTS or Current version will work, though LTS is likely to be more stable. Note that this project does have dependencies on native modules (sqlite3), so if during the installation you are prompted to install tools for native modules, you should choose to do so. If you don't have all the prerequisites already installed (e.g. Visual Studio build tools on Windows), the installation process will take some time.
There are two ways to download this project, via git (recommended), or a direct .zip download.
There are multiple ways to use git to clone a GitHub project, outlined in GitHub's Cloning a repository documentation. Any approach should work, just make a note of where the project is saved on your computer.
If you don't want to set up git, you can download the latest version of the code directly here, or navigate to Code > Download ZIP from the project home page:
You can also download the zipped source from a specific release on the releases page.
After downloaded, simply extract it to the location of your choice.
Before running Marker Editor, additional dependencies must be installed, outlined in package.json. To install these, open a terminal/command prompt window, navigate to the MarkerEditorForPlex folder, and run npm install.
