Following installation instruction without electron

[fulmicoton]

After running npm i, I get the following error.

 [email protected] postinstall /home/paul/git/tantivy-search/tantivy-node/node_modules/nodemon
> node bin/postinstall || exit 0

Love nodemon? You can now support the project via the open collective:

> npm run build-electron


> @strangerlabs/[email protected] build-electron /home/paul/git/tantivy-search/tantivy-node
> npx electron-build-env neon build tantivy

could not determine electron version

It would be awesome if it was possible to use your tantivy bindings independently of electron.

Thank you for making Tantivy!

I've publish an update to npm.
Writing these bindings has been a bit of experiment. Let me know if it works.

Cool.

So now, npm install @strangerlabs/tantivy works, but the native lib is not built, so that
when I try to import your package I get the following error.

 Cannot find module './lib'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:543:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:470:25)
    at Module.require (module.js:593:17)
    at require (internal/module.js:11:18)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/home/paul/git/tantivy-search/tantivy-node/node_modules/@strangerlabs/tantivy/index.js:1:77)

Is there an extra step to it?

Btw, I discovered this project randomly, searching for stuff in github. The bindings look awesome, and I suspect a lot of ppl in node community might be interested by it.

Keep up the good work!

Heya
This is something related to publishing binaries to NPM. I'm going to have that working soon. I haven't worked with native packages on npm before so it has been a bit of an adventure.

Cheers
