Cannot find the executable in the release downloads

The documentation states that one can run the software on the desktop but there is no explanation how, or which file to actually run. https://docs.universaldatatool.com/installation

The releases seem to just contain the same directory as one gets when cloning the repo, and there is no linux appimage or similar to be found.

Just to be sure I tried to run npm install (though I know nothing about npm or nodejs):

The command npm install fails:

Tried this on Ubuntu 18.04 mit nvm/node/npm install manually using nvm as described here: https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-node-js-on-ubuntu-18.04/#2-installing-nodejs-and-npm

We should make it so the release does not appear without those executables, or fix the build so that the executables are included.

Guys… sorry to say but this is a total mess! I’m a new user and I just followed what the repository REAMDE says:

“Trying to run the web app locally? Run npm install then npm run start after cloning this repository to start the web server.”

So I’ve only done the only one thing that this repository says to do, and I’m getting the following errors:

I’ve not used node so much, so honestly I have no idea about the severity of the above issues. I’m on Windows 10, running node v16.15.0. I hope you can point me to the right direction…

Thanks!
