Also, this line in Bingo.elm causes the player scores to disappear after awhile:
Phoenix.Socket.withoutHeartbeat
It’s there to declutter debugging. Removing it results in a stable client experience.
Thanks again to Mike and Nicole for their support.
Vue.js is also included now, in case you don’t wanna use ELM at the front-end. Sale ends tomorrow.
Hijacking this thread since it IS related to this course and I can’t seem to find a help forum/board/etc. from PragStudio.
So, long story short, in the setup notes (1st “lesson”), for the Elm section it says to go to assets folder (under the elm folder) and run elm-package install -y.
I tried that, indeed there IS a file there elm-package.json but my OS doesn’t recognize elm-package as a command (it’s the first argument of the “sentence”).
Also tried, npm install elm-package and no joy.
So, before I continue forward to more advanced lessons, how do I tackle this issue at the gate?
Also, are the docs/explanation of later lessons correct (from your experience)?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the hijack (though, one may say that knowing about issues in this course are just as important as knowing about its strengths. 
).
On macOS:
$ ls /usr/local/bin/elm-package
/usr/local/bin/elm-package
So what likely is happening is that your $PATH (System PATH) environment variable doesn’t contain the path to the directory that Elm was installed to.
That sound very plausible since I had to install Node.js (and by that virtue, Elm) to a custom folder (long story…)
So elm-package IS a command, just not OS, but one installed by installing Elm… Cool, I’ll just EXPORT it to the path (once I find it. 
).
Thanks again!
What installer did you use? I don’t remember there being an npm installer before - and that would work slightly differently and it would depend on whether you used
npm install -g elm
or
npm install elm
npm list -g --depth=0
would list all globally installed npm packages - and if that doesn’t work you may have to get npm/node to work properly first.
I used NPM, however for some reason I’m not sure of, even using sudo and the -g flag all resulted in permissions error to write to a certain folder NPM uses.
I found some GH solution where you set the global installs of NPM to a folder of your choosing, which worked. The downside is that, indeed, as you suspected, using this method doesn’t put the custom folder on the PATH.
A quick editing of the .zshrc and I’m off to the races.
Thanks!
