Especially the install.sh only works on Linux.
Otherwise very cool idea :-)
- basilesimon 12y agoHehe, yes, there's an opened issue about the install process on Mac - we couldn't perform tests over the weekend! Cron wouldn't work on Windows either, by the way.
- 5c2v 12y agoYes, we are still a bit new with Node and the best practices when it comes to installation process. I went for what came in mind immediately, but there's obviously room for improvement. Any thoughts or comments are welcome! Thank you :)
- 5c2v 12y agoPS: I just created an issue on github to adress your remark: https://github.com/BBC-News-Labs/datastringer/issues/11 https://github.com/BBC-News-Labs/datastringer/issues/11 Feel free to contribute :)
- hnnewguy 12y agoAs a person with a penchant for data, but with limited coding experience, I agree. I have hard time reconciling: "Don't know how to code? That's fine." With: "The code is available on Github, and that's where you should start. Just clone the repo and run the installation script located at root." I think you seriously overestimate the layman's abilities here. Is this for programming laymen? Github is one of the last things people learn, for better or worse. Intriguing, nonetheless. Will follow.
