Lack of instructions for installing

Open benwiggy opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

I could not find anything in the documentation that tells you how to get the software up and running.

Loading index.html doesn't work in my Safari browser on macOS (blank white screen), so I've no idea if I should be doing anything else.

The 'online' version works in the same browser.

can you let us know what is in your console?

Did you follow instructions in the readme? https://github.com/SVG-Edit/svgedit?tab=readme-ov-file#i-want-to-host-svgedit-in-my-environment

Apologies, that's a comprehension fail on my part.

npm doesn't seem to be on macOS by default, so that's another thing to install. Running it remotely seems the easier option for now.
