How to install about raven-reader

[thenexxuz-zz]

@mrgodhani yes it compiles now! Thank you!

@MrSassyBritches as per instruction you need to install Atom Electron on your pc as well as NPM. Once you have done that follow the instructions from readme.

By going to cloned directory and executing below commands

npm install // install dependencies

npm run release // package app, will create app in release directory.

Build for windows should be there on release directory. I myself use mac only so didn't get chance to test it out on Windows machine.

On Windows 10 I'm mostly seeing webpack errors:

I'm new to webpack (preferring browserify), but I'd love to give this reader a try (as I do a good bit of Vue.js coding).

Any thoughts on those errors?

I also got this one about NSIS after those earlier ones:

[10:04:29] Building installer with NSIS...

c:\Users\Benjamin\Documents\GitHub\rss-reader\tasks\release_windows.js:100
            throw "Can't find NSIS. Are you sure you've installed it and"
            ^
 Can't find NSIS. Are you sure you've installed it and added to PATH environment variable?

[mrgodhani]

@BigBlueHat For remote module resolve, I will push the fix for it. Reason for breaking is because Electron recently got updated to new 1.0 and many API changes too. I will work on updating into new version soon. If anyone wants to contribute please feel free to post PR. :)

[thenexxuz-zz]

I am having the same issue on Fedora. I would be happy to help update the API...but where should begin?

[mrgodhani]

@thenexxuz So you are not able to package for Fedora ? Issue might be inside packaging. Packaging is handled by https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-packager. And since Fedora is Linux it relies on https://github.com/mrgodhani/rss-reader/blob/master/tasks/release_linux.js. I am working on updated version already with new version of vuex and latest version of electron (https://github.com/mrgodhani/rss-reader/tree/develop). Which I intend to release it by this sunday. If you can figure out how to fix the API that would be the place. And you can always post PR.

[mrgodhani]

@thenexxuz I just pushed new release. Still needs some updates as I am adding features into it. But you can now try packaging your app and should work.
