Where's the dist directory?

[robmaurizi]

Maybe a dumb question, but not being a Sketch, gulp or NPM user for the most part, where's the dist directory that the CSS and fonts are supposed to be dumped in?

Hello, there is no dumb questions 😊. The dist folder will be automatically created when the task is done and you will found all your icons in it.

Have fun !

it doesn't seem to be getting created when the task is done... It'll live in the same directory as the Sketch file (14px)?

[peacepostman]

No, unless you change it in the gulpfile, the folder dist is supposed to appear on the root of your working directory.

will this work if i run npm on windows
was just trying that but its not working as you are just processing sketch file and env is node so it should work thats what i think correct me if i am wrong

[peacepostman]

Why would you run this on windows ? Sketch is still not available on windows so i guess its normal that it doesn't work :)

I'm actually having the same issue and I'm on mac. I followed the instructions and no folders are being generated in my working folder. When I do npm run symbols I get two lines in the terminal, one says "Using gulpfile /Users/blah/blah/gulpfile.js" then the other syays "Starting 'symbols'...". Nothing happens after that. Do I need to rename the sketch file or do something with it?

Same here.
I followed the instruction, and 'dist' directory was not generated after npm run symbol.
It just show "Starting 'symbols'..." then finished without any message.
I run this on Mac with node.js v8.11.1.
