Did you connect to an already running interpreter or start the interpreter from RIDE?

How do you reproduce the issue?

I tried building RIDE as per the instructions.

npm is installed via nvm

npm --version 8.19.2

npm version { ride45: ‘4.5.0’, npm: ‘8.19.2’, node: ‘18.10.0’, v8: ‘10.2.154.15-node.12’, uv: ‘1.43.0’, zlib: ‘1.2.11’, brotli: ‘1.0.9’, ares: ‘1.18.1’, modules: ‘108’, nghttp2: ‘1.47.0’, napi: ‘8’, llhttp: ‘6.0.10’, openssl: ‘3.0.5+quic’, cldr: ‘41.0’, icu: ‘71.1’, tz: ‘2022b’, unicode: ‘14.0’, ngtcp2: ‘0.8.1’, nghttp3: ‘0.7.0’ }

node --version v18.10.0

I now tried installing the .deb file and it seems to work fine. I just wanted you to know that there are some issues with Electron’s remote.
