I'm trying to create a way to view my security cameras without browser support for mjpg streaming.
The paparazzo.js seems like a good solution to test out:
https://github.com/rodowi/Paparazzo.js/
There is a demo script and I've uploded it to my page homepage:
http://intra.tobiasfransman.net/talo/demo/demo.html
But it not displaying the test camera image.
Am I doing something wrong, shouldn't the demo work with default out of box parameters?
Paparazzo.js runs on node.js.
So you need to install node.js, npm (node package manager) and download paparazzo.
After that:
cd into the directory where you downloaded paparazzo
run npm install
This will install all dependencies which paparazzo needs in order to function.
Finally cd {Paparazzo_Install_Location}/demo and run:
node bootstrap.js -> Paparazzo should now be running.
Keep in mind that you have to edit the server.coffee file in {Paparazzo_Install_Location}/demo and the demo.html according to your needs (host, port, path etc.). From where to get the stream and on which port to respond.
Hope this helps.

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 ^.^
Following the title, I have am unable to execute cmdlets, exe, shellscripts, vb. All that I am able open is git bash, but again, I have no admin rights. Are there any ways of accomplishing this? 1 idea i had was to create a local website that does this for us in the form where we upload a zip file to the website then it does its stuff then repacks it and sends it back to us via a local zip file download?
EDIT:
I am trying to document out a front end site coded in react. Only thing that is able to run anything within itself is Git Bash. No execution of .exe's or cmdlets withing Git Bash works though...
Well, apparently if u have git bash in ur restricted laptop and have the ability to push ur commit to git hub, it seems that using EDoc node module does the job.
Instead of saving globally (which won't work) do a npm install -save esdoc.
Then instead of running esdoc -c [json file], use ./node_modules/esdoc/out/src/esdoccli.js -c [json file]
Worked beautifully for me. Hope this helps anyone who faces a similar situation as me. Feel free to add additional methods to generate documentation.
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
I am trying to get up and running with Meteor and seeing what it can offer, while I like it overall, it seems it's a very very rigid system.
I set up a small testing setup using Velocity, it opens a small overlay window on the side which has a class of "velocityOverlay". The overlay is really small and makes error stack traces wrap. All I wanted to do was to edit the css of the "velocityOverlay" and increase the width.
I somehow (after wasting time) managed to find that Meteor is actually putting all the packages in my user directory by default, once I found that, I found the needed css file...
velocity_html-reporter/.0.5.1.aykpxq++os+web.browser+web.cordova/web.browser/packages/velocity_html-reporter/lib/client-report.less.css
And I did a small edit to the width, next thing you know the meteor app crashes when trying to launch using the "meteor" command throwing a "Error: couldn't read entire resource" error. I can't even edit the bootstrap.css file I installed using "ian_bootstrap-3".
Further more, I can't find any way to install packages locally just for my particular project, what if I wanted to modify a package only for my particular project? this is very easy to do in vanilla Node.js, you simply don't use the "-g" when using "npm install".
To add to that, within my project root, there is another ".meteor/local/build/web.browser" folder with most of the global package files replicated again. When does Meteor use which? This is very confusing.
You can run a package locally very easily.
Download it from Github (for example) and put it in the packages/ directory of your application like this /packages/package_name.
Then add it to your application with the same meteor add package_name command as usual.
Meteor will automatically look in the local folder before anywhere else and compile the package with the rest of your code.
This allows you to do any modification you want on the package and test it locally before publishing it to the registry.
Also, folders located in .meteor/local/* are used for building purpose only and are generated automatically by Meteor. So it is not the best place to edit the files!
This worked for me https://atmospherejs.com/i/publishing. mrt link-package didn't work for me, might just be outdated code.
Steps:
Download (or clone) package from GitHub to local dir
Stop meteor if running
2.1. Make sure you have a packages folder: mkdir packages
Locally link your package:
3.1 If you have mrt installed: Run mrt link-package /path/to/package in a project dir
3.2 If you don't have mrt: ln -s /path/to/package packages/package
Then run meteor add developer:package-name, do not forget to change package name
Run meteor in a project dir
From now any changes in developer:package-name package folder will cause rebuilding of project app
Download the package and place it in new package directory in your project root.
open the package.js inside the downloaded package and remove the author's name in the property "name:"
e.g: - name:'dburles:google-maps' to name:'google-maps'
then run
meteor add google-maps
Does anyone know how to install GameClosure on Windows? According to the docs, on the installation guide, only osx is supported, although they have some success running on Linux and Windows. Unfortunately they don't expand on how to do this and a Google turns up only one promising looking page which returns a 404 (there is a cached version but it only seems to be a half article).
I have successfully installed the GC DevKit on Windows, there are a few additional steps like creating symbolic links BEFORE trying to install the GC DevKit.
Follow these steps carefully and you shouldn't have a problem getting it up and running. Read through them and try to understand what is required first.
Download the list of required items (Windows builds for Git, Node and Java) from the install guide.
Open up Git Bash (find it on the start menu under Git)
Continue with the install guide by cloning the repo (git clone https://github.com/gameclosure/devkit).
The files would have been installed to %USERPROFILE% if you did not change the directory while in Git Bash.
Move all the files in devkit\SDK somewhere else but make sure they are gone from that directory.
Open a normal command-prompt (cmd.exe).
Create symbolic links for everything that WAS under the devkit\SDK directory using mklink (available in Vista and above) from the command-prompt (not the Git Bash console). The files you moved in step 5 will contain the path as text that the link should be pointed to EG: > mklink /D "%USERPROFILE%\devkit\sdk\squill" "..\lib\squill\"
JSIO is special and actually needs to exist in a sub-directory at the time of writing. Create the directory devkit\SDK\jsio and then create a symbolic link INSIDE that going back one more relative path. EG: > mklink /D "%USERPROFILE%\devkit\sdk\jsio\jsio" "..\..\lib\js.io\packages\"
Go back you your Git Bash console and now continue with the installation for GC DevKit by switching to the devkit directory running the ./install.sh script as described.
Run basil by executing node src/basil [command]
If all the correct pre-requisites were in place everything should go smoothly. If basil throws errors it's more than likely the symbolic links, just check that everything is pointing to the right place and run ./install.sh to try again.
Good luck!!
There is now a full guide to installing Game Closure SDK on Windows here (I have also posted the contents in pastebin here in case the previous link disappears)
It's quite a process to get everything installed and configured, and looks like you can only develop for Android using the windows version of the SDK, but I may be mistaken
I wasn't able to get it installed on windows, but it's easy enough to install on linux, so I ended up using virtualbox and a linux vm. Cygwin could be another option but I didn't try it so unfortunately can't say for definite whether or not it would work
