Looking at contributing having trouble building.

[jl-rey]

Hello:

I have cloned this and downloaded to my computer.

Loaded into Visual Studio 2019. Cannot get to build.

I found two help wanted that looked fairly isolated and simple.

What I have tried.

Build with Visual Studio

Tried to build inside Visual Studio.
First build had 687 errors.
Second attempt 300+ errors.
Third attempt 17 errors.

It would seem that some of the project build dependencies are not set properly

Now I am down to errors about not being able to find:

• ManagedREference.FSharp.dll
• MangedReference.dll

FSharpProjects.code-workspace

I found an FSharpProrojects.code-workspace.

Questions

How do I get these things to link?
Why does the F# code not appear in docfx.sln project.
Why is it not built with the solution.

Visual Studio code

In the directory containing docfx.sln opened a terminal

Get the following

Running on OS Windows
ERROR: UpdateTemplate.sh requires node installed globally.
Error 1: Update template

This seems to fail on this UpdateTempleate.ps1

# Check if node exists globally
if (-not (Get-Command "node" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)) {
    Write-Host "ERROR: UpdateTemplate.sh requires node installed globally."
    exit 1
}

Questions

Exactly what do I need to install globally?

[jl-rey]

I would like to contribute but am having difficulty getting this to compile.

Is there a set of instructions for building this solution?

You need to install node.js globally so that the build scripts have access to the node.js commands.
