-- ##React Voodle ###Setting up React Voodle:

• You will need to manually install the node-module 'node-core-audio' because of reasons.

  • Windows/OSX users:

    • Clone the git repository https://github.com/ZECTBynmo/node-core-audio.git into your node-modules folder.
    • Navigate into your node-core-audio folder and run node-gyp rebuild. *NOTE: if you are running Python >3: make sure Python < 3 && >= 2.7 is installed run node-gyp rebuild --python=python2.7
    • Note if you are on a mac, MAY need to install the 'nan' package: cd to node-core-audio npm i nan

  • Linux users:

    • Clone the git repository https://github.com/ZECTBynmo/node-core-audio.git into your node-modules folder.

    • In the portaudio folder type: ./configure;(sudo)make install.
    • cd .. back to your node-core-audio folder and open the binding.gyp file. Replace the OS=="linux"',{...} clause with the following:

     'OS=="linux"', {
     "libraries" : [
     '<(module_root_dir)/portaudio/lib/.libs/libportaudio.so',
     '<(module_root_dir)/portaudio/include/portaudio.h'
     ],
     'cflags': [ "-fno-exceptions -lrt -lasound -ljack -lpthread -fPIC" ],
     'cflags!': [ "-fno-exceptions-lrt -lasound -ljack -lpthread -fPIC" ],
