Error while running example

[leebyron]

I'm a bit confused. Could you share the exact steps you followed to get this error? Babel and Browserify are included in the package dependencies, so installing the main project should work.

I think this is the issue:

https://github.com/graphql/graphiql/blob/master/example/build.sh#L4

Shouldn't it be something like

./node_modules/.bin/babel server.js --optional runtime -o dist/server.js

?

yeah, exactly that, thanks @gaearon

@leebyron yeah they are being installed but the when the examples try to install the dependencies, they install the local graphiql which has:

"prepublish": "npm run build"

which is run before the npm install is done and it runs the ./resource/build.sh which uses global babel

[leebyron]

Have you run "npm install" in the main project directory first?

The build script is not meant to be run directly, but only via npm scripts, which puts node_modules/.bin into $PATH

[gaearon]

I just tried running npm install in root and then in example folder and I don't have any problems.

[leebyron]

I'll add that step to the readme in examples

[knowbody]

cool, now works 👍

thanks @leebyron and @gaearon
