I've been creating a JavaScript game for a project recently and have done it completely on the CodePen website. I now am trying to transfer it to WebStorm to turn it into a basic website. However when I try to run my code I get the following error:
I don't know how to fix it, I've looked everywhere and haven't been able to get some help. Any information would be appreciated.
Simple one, basically the error says, I don't know how to interpret this bit of code that you just gave me. You're missing local install of Node.js and NPM. Get the latest versions of these 2, and then go to File -> Settings -> Language&Frameworks -> Node.js and NPM and in the Node interpreter text box, point it to the path of where node.js was installed.
You're running this JavaScript file with Node.js that is probably not installed on your machine. It seems that you want to run and debug your app in the browser instead. For that you need to create a JavaScript run/debug configuration instead as described here: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/debugging-javascript-in-chrome.html
On a linux machnie,
Install nodejs and npm
sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo apt-get install npm
Get the nodejs installation folder
whereis nodejs
Should print something like:
/usr/bin/nodejs /usr/lib/nodejs /usr/include/nodejs /usr/share/nodejs /usr/share/man/man1/nodejs.1.gz
Go to:
Webstorm-> File -> Languages & Frameworks -> Node interpreter
Copy paste the installation folder to the text box.
Mac OS here. Solved the issue with:
$ brew install nodejs

Everytime I try to figure this out I end up on the same pages with the same confusing terminology that doesn't explain anything. This is what I have:
installed notepad++ with recommended settings.
installed 17 recommended plugins for notepad++
installed node.js and all recommended software included in the node.js lts .msi file.
step 1 of the tutorial? create a new directory for the project and use npm init inside of it so we can start keeping track of our packages. problem? I can create a new directory with ease, but where am I supposed to run npm init FROM? presumably some type of console but idk what console, I have like 8 of them after installing node.js, and none of them recognize any commands that I know. Can someone please explain this to me as if I were a 5 year old?
all you should need to do is to install node.js from the org website, from there just open cmd or terminal and not any other fancy terminals I would recommend to use VSC but that is up to you after all
if you open cmd, cd into the directory.
then npm init and follow the instructions from the terminal.
Is it possible to run a JavaScript file with node.js on windows? I have been trying to for hours and can't find any more solutions on the internet that work.
I have a js-file that uses scribbletune which only works with node.js.
I have node.js installed and I installed gitbash because it was recommended in a forum.
I tried to run from command prompt and gitbash but nothing seems to happen.
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be very much appreciated.
There is no need to install gitbash to use Node on Windows. It's a handy thing to have if you're used to a *nix environment. If you're not, it just gives you something more to learn, which isn't helpful if you're already in the middle of trying to learn Node.
Just:
Get the Windows installer from https://nodejs.org/en/download/
Run the Windows installer
Create a directory for your project
Open a Command Prompt Window to get a command line
Switch to your project directory
(Optional, but a good idea) Use npm init to create a package.json file (it'll walk you through it)
Install any libs you're going to be using via npm (for instance, npm install scribbletune from your command prompt window)
Put your JavaScript files in that directory
Use node main.js at the command line to run your main file (whatever it's called; main.js is just a placeholder)
Inorder to run a js (java script file) file
step 1. u need to go to the file location where u want to run.
step 2. just use "shift +right click".
u will see a pop-up and go to powershell or cmd.
step 3. type "node FILENAME.js"
final step: you will see the result ^.^
I was trying to install this : Search git whodotheyserve. com but this error shows up consistently .No matter what i try. I have tried other version of npm they are installed but the
npm test
error shows up .
npm run-script task
too returns error
This happens consistently .Also i am following each step mentioned in source of this project.Image attached.Please help where am i wrong here. The file extension used here ls .I had no experience with these. Image link
Echo %PATH% image link
The build fails because you are using Windows instead of Linux.
This is clearly stated in the installation instructions you claim to have followed in your duplicate question.
notes
The build tasks rely on Linux shell commands such as pkill and rsync
so are unlikely to run on other OS's without some tweaks.
If you want to run this under windows, you should ask the repo maintainer for guidance.
You have to install python 2.7 and make sure it's in your PATH variable.
Try:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\python2.7\python.exe
Replace C:\python2.7\python.exe with your actual python installation path
The issue here was that this was made to run on linux only.So ,it won't run on windows on which i was trying to run it.The issue arose as i was trying to install it on wrong OS.I have successfully installed it on linux.It works great.
I want to thank all those who contributed in helping me with this issue.Thanks a lot to all those who helped.
I'm trying to simply install a stupid package in Node. I use the normal ol' command and it proceeds to tell me it can't find a file or directory (see image below). I've already updated and reinstalled npm, and still the same thing. I'm also running Windows 8. Any ideas, please?
Should I give up developing Node on a Windows machine?
Thanks!
Run npm init first and it will create the package.json file that it is looking for.
So I followed the docs here:
https://github.com/modernizr/modernizr
1) cloned the repo using npm.
2) ran npm install inside modernizr to install its dependencies.
3) tried to run ./bin/modernizr -c lib/config-all.json
I am getting an error:
'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command
I am assuming that this has to do with the windows command line not understanding that I am trying to execute the file at that location. How can I do step 3 on cmd?
Thanks in advance.
Here we go. You need to run the modernizr bin from within node.
node .\bin\modernizr -c .\lib\config-all.json
Run the instructions in PowerShell. It does a better job of support *nix-style syntax and commands than the Command Prompt.
Use Git Bash (part of Git for Windows) or (iof you feel like going in the front door) Minimalist GNU For Windows (http://www.mingw.org/) It works fine.
