Cannot build formeo

Hi there,

I’ve been attempting to build Formeo on a Windows 10 machine using Command Prompt running under Administrator mode, but have been unable to up to this point.

The commands used so far are:

git clone https://github.com/Draggable/formeo.git cd formeo npm install && npm run dev

This process will run up until it hits the following errors:

npm WARN prepublish-on-install As of npm@5, prepublish scripts are deprecated. npm WARN prepublish-on-install Use prepare for build steps and prepublishOnly for upload-only. npm WARN prepublish-on-install See the deprecation note in npm help scripts for more information.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I have attempted to use webpack -v, but it instead goes through a process of installing webpack-cli and fails along the way, and subsequent attempts to reinstall still fail as mentioned previously.

Make sure you have installed yarn. Please refer yarn install page

Execute the following commands one by one:

git clone https://github.com/Draggable/formeo.git
cd formeo
yarn install
yarn run build

Once all the above commands are done, you would be able to see a folder formeo\demo which has index.html and an assets folder.

Open the index.html in browser and you would be good to see the formeo designer screen.

@charmis absolutely. I took a look last night and the steps need to be updated as well as fixing install when using npm.
