New to TS/JS. Trying to run example.ts

[ColtonIdle]

I'm trying to run example.js

I cloned the repo. Cd'd into it. npm install -g typescript. then tsc example.ts

but im hit with

Found 266 errors in 6 files.

Errors  Files
     3  example.ts:7
   249  index.ts:4
     3  messages/OutgoingMessages.ts:14
     1  messages/SLGatewayDataMessage.ts:8
     7  messages/SLMessage.ts:3
     2  utils/PasswordEncoder.ts:56

am i missing something? i am mostly a mobile/kotlin dev so im out of my depth here 😅

You should:

• Clone the repo
• Cd into it
• Run: npm install to get dependencies installed locally, not a global version of a dependency
• Run npm build npm run build if you want to re-compile the typescript, but this is not required as the compiled files are already in the "dist" folder
• node dist/example.js to run the example script

Sorry, yes, npm run build. Typing from memory :)

thanks for teaching (once again!)

excellent! Im able to connect now! woot! now to try to add this to my project. im assuming since this isn't distributed through "npm" I just need to include this in the root of my project

[parnic]

It is on npm.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-screenlogic

Oh snap. Sorry. Typically on android/kotlin repos it'll say the maven coordinates for integrating a library. So maybe I missed this on the readme when I read through it
