Issue with installation

[SchmittAntonin]

Hi,

Trying for the 1st time to play with unofficial App for Homey and I have the following message when I try to install the PCC Alt App:
✓ Pre-processing app...

The file is in the program because:

Would it be possible to give me a hint on this message and how to solve it?

Many thanks !

Are you on MacOS or Windows? I've only been using Windows, but recall another user had issues on Mac:

Many thanks for your quick feedback. Indeed, I’m on Mac. I’ll have to find a PC to try to install it then. Best regards, Antonin Le lun. 11 mars 2024 à 10:51, Robert Schmidt ***@***.***> a écrit :

Cool - let me know how it goes.
I'll check with the forum if anyone else have installed it successfully from Mac. It might just be a config issue.

I suspect you may be in a non typescript project trying to run a typescript file. Try the things from "Converting an existing app to TypeScript" here: https://apps.developer.homey.app:8443/guides/tools/typescript

You may even just be missing the "homey app add-types" command

Hi @Magnusri ,
Your were right. The "homey app add-types" helped to solve the problem. I had to run all the lines in sudo (probably because my computer is not properly set), but everything works fine now.
Thank you bot @ugumba and @Magnusri for your help.
