I'm trying to install a searchkit demo "IMDB Search Demo": http://searchkit.co/demos

I copied the contents of: https://github.com/searchkit/searchkit-demo to a folder on my Desktop

I installed nodejs, went into that folder in cmd, typed "npm install" and "npm start"

There is a ridiculously large list of errors that say for example:

ERROR in ./src/index.tsx
(2,24): error TS2307: Cannot find module 'react'.

and at the end:

webpack: Failed to compile

I then used "npm i -S react" to install react myself.

npm start: same error messages.

At localhost:3000 there opens a webpage that says "Sample App" in the header, but the page is blank white.

Do you have any Idea why this does not work? I tried it on ubuntu: same result, so i guess I'm missing something important.

Thanks.

You may have forgotten to install tsd package manager and run tsd install as stated in searchkit-demo project : 

npm install tsd -g

Then install with tsd and npm (react is installed with tsd) :

tsd install
npm install

Then with npm start : 

webpack built e4e4b2ce528a415bed3e in 5340ms

  • yes, that is correct. Pretty obvious. I have even noticed that there is this readme before, but idk why I didn't do what was told there. Maybe it's because I'm sick at the moment and my mind was not clear. Unfortunately this was kinda urgent. Thank you. – sezanzeb Feb 21 '17 at 22:59
