Fatal Error in Installation. Help

[AlphaaBeyy]

I have completed all the stages of the installation. I've tried Windows and Ubuntu, though. the last step is the npm run build process I am experiencing with this error.

Very happy if you help. I like to research such projects and develop myself. I'm a web programming student.

Hi! I'm not any of the developers of this library, but I found the fix for this.

Open terminal wherever you want and do (from the beginning):

npm install webpack webpack-cli -g
git clone https://github.com/paulsonnentag/swip.git && cd swip
npm install
npm install babel-loader@7 babel-core -D

Then modify your webpack.config.js so that it looks like this:

const path = require('path');

module.exports = {
  entry: {
    app: './src/client/index.js',
  },
  output: {
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
    filename: 'bundle.js'
  },
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.js$/,
        exclude: /(node_modules|bower_components)/,
        loader: 'babel-loader', // It seems that we need to use babel-loader 
      },
      {
        test: /\.css$/,
        loader: 'style-loader!css-loader',
      },
    ],
  },
};

Now run:

npm run build
cd ./examples/particles && npm install
cd ../golf && npm install

Then you'll be able to do:

npm run golf
// or
npm run particles

It's a shame this project has been abandoned. It would be really interesting to continue development.

Cheers!
