Getting Started

[tatecarson]

Hello,

I'm just getting into supercollider js. I installed the packages fine and got to the point where you say "In your code require the package:" and then some code. Where does that code go and how exactly do you run it? I'm assuming it doesn't have to be in the same folder as the modules since they were installed locally. I'm pretty new to node, a small bit of guidance would be helpful.

...edit: figured the above bit out pretty quickly but i'm still curious about the other question.

I'm eventually interested in possibly trying to use this with electron to make a standalone. Would this be possible?

thanks!

Also trying to run the api example and getting this error:

this is after running API.mountDuplexOSC in supercollider

See https://github.com/experimentalDataAesthetics/play-splom for a working electron example app

I am going to rework all the examples and greatly expand them, move them into a separate repo.

So you understood that you write a my-thing.js and run it with node my-thing.js

Closing this now that I have some documentation and guides up.

They aren't finished or perfect though. I'm trying to find the time for another big writing session.
