Running the app

[cakeworks12345]

Hi Michael
very interested in trying out what you've created with IPFS and file sharing.
Could you give me a quick walkthrough on how to use your app?
I've downloaded it and cannot get past the "It seems that the IPFS dameon is not started yet. Daemon stopped" screen.
My IPFS Daemon is running though.
Thanks
J

Hello,
It's probably because Arbore embed its own daemon (a go-ipfs one) and that conflict with yours. I should change the ports used for free one at launch but I can't do that now due to some weird complication with Electron.

You can also join https://gitter.im/Arbore/Lobby . Despite what it looks like right now, English is fine there.

Thanks - joined the chatroom
So what can I do to get around that Daemon problem?

[MichaelMure]

Just stop your own daemon while running Arbore. It's not ideal but it's the best for now.

it still says the same thing - cant get in

What OS are you on ? Would you be able to run a development version to get more logs ?

[cakeworks12345]

I'm on windows 10
yeah sure

You need Node.js (https://nodejs.org/en/).

Clone or download this repository
run npm install to install all the dependencies.
run npm run dev to launch the developement version

Also make sure that your antivirus is not preventing the daemon from running.

which folder should I npm run dev in?

[MichaelMure]

The root folder
