Short getting started or Install guide

See original GitHub issue

Hello, please add some short getting started or install guide.

I tried for more than two hours without being able to run the demo. (I am coming from the embedded world and are not familiar with js tool-chain)

If I just open moniel.html locally, I see a grey window without any function. I tried with firefox on linux and with firefox, chrome, explorer on windows.

Am I supposed to start startDevEnv.sh? Then babel and http-server are needed. Which? Things I tried (on ubuntu first 14.4 then 16.4):

sudo apt-get install babel-1.4.0
sudo apt-get install openbabel
npm install babel
and some more

startDevEnv.sh was not happy with any of those. Same question would arise for http-server.

Hope to be able to play with this very interesting project, and also use it as an example to learn js visualization. Thanks a lot for publishing.

Electron is trying to run “node” command, but on your system it is “nodejs”.

One possible solution is to upgrade NPM to higher version that can deal with that (3.7.0 and higher) or you can make a symlink to the actual binary: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node.

(Thank you. 😃 )

@dat-ai Awesome 😉

Those two warnings shouldn’t be any problem. 😃
