The awesome-app Command Line Interface

when I run 'awesome-app dev' command I get this error. I'm guessing it's because I don't have npm installed but this should be mentioned in the readme that it's a required dependency.

~ awesome-app dev
==== Running runner: npm_install
> executing: npm install
FAIL - No such file or directory (os error 2)

Hi Jeremy,

Firstly, nice software! It looks great and I can't wait to get started playing around with it. Unfortunately, I've encountered the below error when trying to get awesome-app up and running with awesome-app dev. It opens the Tauri window but the screen is completely blank, also if navigating to http://localhost:8080.

I am running Windows 10 19044.2130, and Node version v18.12.1 and npm version 8.19.2

Can you help me out by steering me in the right direction by any chance?

I have a link from C:\Users\Liam\Git to C:\Git in case you were expecting the mixed paths to be strange and/or problematic.

    Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 14.07s

Problem

As some of the node utilities used requires node.js 18, the compilation fails, and the console error might be cryptic.

See rust-awesome-app/template-app-base#2

Solution

• awesome-app cli should do a check and exit if node.js 18 requirements is not met with a clear message.
