'nodegui-packer@latest' is not in the npm registry? about packer

Hi @disc7
I am guessing you forgot to install @nodegui/packer first
You need to npm install --save-dev @nodegui/packer which would generate nodegui-packer binary link

After this you can do npx nodegui-packer --init

or if you really dont want to install it as dev dependency
you can do
npx --package @nodegui/packer nodegui-packer --init

@master-atul, thanks for the quick response.

Let me confirm my setup. So I've cloned the React-nodegui-packer repo and within the seperate nodegui project I've setup, need to run:

npm install --save-dev @nodegui/packer?

Hey @disc7 what repo is this React-nodegui-packer ?

if you are talking about nodegui/packer you do not need to clone it.

Hey 👋

Let me give some more context.

I have nodegui setup - npm install @nodegui/nodegui

Have cloned https://github.com/nodegui/nodegui-starter and it's compiling.

Have just run npm install --save-dev @nodegui/packer without any errors.

Where/ which folder do I run npx nodegui-packer --init MyApp ?

[a7ul]

now all you need to do is cd to nodegui-starter project
and then npx nodegui-packer --init MyApp

Getting this error

Cs-MacBook-Pro:react-nodegui-starter cabbott$ npx nodegui-packer --init MyApp

Seems like you are using an older version of nodegui
Which version are you using ?
Can you update to the latest one ?

[disc7]

Installing the latest version of NodeGui fixed it.

Thanks, @master-atul!
