I'm having issues trying to install and run Mirador through Node. I changed the directory but when I get it to install is generates the warnings copied below. I'd appreciate any help in resolving the issue!

Kind regards,

Trisha

Your environment has been set up for using Node.js 9.9.0 (x64) and npm.

  • So, do I assume correctly that the `C:\Users\user\Downloads\mirador-develop` directory was created by running something like `cd C:\Users\user\Downloads; git clone https://github.com/ProjectMirador/mirador.git` ? Do I assume correctly that the last command was just `npm install` and not `npm install WARN saveError`? If yes, the answer is to first locate the file named `package.json` somewhere under that `mirador- develop` directory, `cd` there and run `npm install`. – kostix Mar 22 '18 at 10:37
  • And yet the question is: do you really need to hack on Mirador? I mean, that project is available through the npm repository, so you can just do `npm install mirador` to have it downloaded with all its dependencies, so do you really need to clone it by hand? – kostix Mar 22 '18 at 10:38
  • Thank you @kostix for replying. Yes, I was trying to download mirador from GitHub. And the last command was npm install. I followed the instructions suggested on the GitHub webpage for downloading Mirador. The last install command triggered the warnings. I would rather not clone it by hand, if it is available through the npm directory I would prefer to download it with all its dependencies. – Trisha Marie Cecilia O Connor Mar 23 '18 at 09:23
  • Hi again @kostix, thanks for the suggestions but neither open seem to be working. I tried locating the package-json file in npm and installing it but it won't work and installing mirador directly didn't work either. – Trisha Marie Cecilia O Connor Mar 23 '18 at 09:52
  • What I proposed is to try to install mirador from the npm package repository—not from Github repository. I mean [this](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/install) explains how to install from the package repository (I mean the option "c" there). Basically you'd need to do run `npm install mirador` while not being in its cloned directory (you don't need one). It should grab the package from the repository and all its dependencies, transitively. – kostix Mar 23 '18 at 10:52
