Unable to run demo

Hi, I am trying to run the demo but hitting an error. I am on windows 10 and ran my cmd program as administrator. Don’t think I have missed a step so some help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Here are the steps I followed…

1. Cloned the repo
2. Ran “npm install” in the root.
3. Ran “npm build” in the root
4. Made a copy of the sameple-config.js in the /demo/public folder and renamed it to config.js with my own firebase config settings which I got when I clicked web setup in my project’s firebase console.
5. Went back to root folder and ran “npm run demo”

This is when I hit the error. Here is the npm-debug log

I’m on a mac and I got the exact same error. Tried to run “npm run build” but that failed too. I spent a while debugging this. Manually installing the node packages that were missing. Though, isn’t that what npm is supposed to do? Far too much time wasted on this. I just checked the node-modules directory and the number of modules needed for this little app is patently absurd. I’m moving on to something else.

Closing since this is a bit old. Please if you are facing such issue make open a new issue and provide as much details as possible especially what’s written in the console.

And yes, make sure to run npm install 😃
