Wiki is outdated

[aubreyyan]

The bug: The github wiki provides an outdated implementation of UniversalDataTool, which has since been moved to UniversalSampleEditor, rendering these docs inaccurate and confusing for new users

Steps to Reproduce? Minimal example of code that reproduces the behavior

Hello @aubreyyan, new user here and I'm already completely confused.

The README says that in order to run the web-app locally I should just do npm install and then npm run start, however when I do so I receive the following errors messages:

PS C:\Users\my-username\downloads\universal-data-tool-0.14.26> npm install

I'm on Windows 10, running node v16.15.0. I've rarely used node.js so I have no idea about the severity of the those issues... if they indicate some serious issue with the app code, or if I can just ignore them... And yes, as you said the documentation it's a bit of a mess, instructions from a part of the website are contradicting other instructions here at the repository... It's very frustrating... Also I was expecting to find a Windows Desktop Client in the Releases section... At least that's what the website says... but it's just the web-app and nothing else...

Hopefully you can share some basic advice just to get me back on track...? Thanks a lot if you can help!

Yeah I get the same error with 0.14.25, 0.14.24, etc. I ended up using the 0.14.16 release (which has AppImage and other binaries) https://github.com/UniversalDataTool/universal-data-tool/releases/tag/v0.14.16

In this thread https://github.com/UniversalDataTool/universal-data-tool/issues/338 it's mentioned that it may be due to "a problem with the build server"

@lmmx glad you got it to work... I'll try again following your example when I'll get back to this... but I am afraid that in the meantime other solution will come available. If you get to know about any other good alternatives and you're around these lands perhaps give me a shout! ;)

I'm using Label Studio now

@lmmx perfect, thanks for the info!
