if "npm update" fails, then there is a problem with your node installation

[mmiscool]

I fixed the NPM update problem.

Now when I run npm start it get the following result.

`C:\Downloads\apps-1.0.61\apps-1.0.61 (gridspace-apps@1.0.61)

this may be a windows-specific issue. i just cloned the repo and followed the readme and it's working on mac and linux.

[mmiscool]

What version of node are you using?

[stewartoallen]

any version above 8.1

[mmiscool]

Ok. I got it working on linux.

Is there a build script to make a static build that dose not require node to be hosting it.
I was because I have a web application written in PHP that could benefit from this but I would need to host it from a folder on that server.

By the way thanks so mush for open sourcing this thing. I found it to be very quick and my current slicing set up take place on the web server side at the cost of resources. This pushes all of that nativity to the local client witch is great.

[mmiscool]

And where is your donate button.

[stewartoallen]

lower right link on the wiki: https://github.com/GridSpace/apps/wiki

[mmiscool]

That's awesome.

Is there a build script to make a static copy of the app to be uploaded to a regular web server?

[stewartoallen]

it's not my use case, so I have not invested time to do it. thanks for the donation!

[mmiscool]

I would be very interested in such a feature if you find the time or desire to implement.

Hey Stewart! I'm having the same issue on a Windows machine. I think it has to do with windows slashes in filePath on line 86 on web-server.js.

[stewartoallen]

slashes should be converted on windows. are there spaces in your path?

I've replicated this and it looks like a problem with windows not supporting sym-links. Looking into a workaround.

[stewartoallen]

Simple solution, when cloning the repo on windows, you need to enable symlinks like so:

git clone -c core.symlinks=true [repo-url]
