Can't RUN this!

[tinshade]

I can't run this! I have Node and Electron installed and set up perfectly. Can someone guide me how to get this app running?

Any help will be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

It runs fine if you follow the instructions in the README file:

Development
It's very easy to get started with these 3 steps:

Clone this project to your local machine.
Open terminal and cd into the cloned folder, usually cd Manta.
Run yarn install to install dependencies.
Run yarn dev in one tab to start webpack-dev-server.
Run yarn start in another tab to open the app.

Otherwise, just download the executables https://github.com/hql287/Manta/releases

Well, firstly, I am on Windows and I am using NPM. Second, when I do manage to get it running, it shows a blank, white screen and I believe that's because of "electron-is-dev".

I need this to make slight changes and redeploy as a separate project. I don't think EXEs will be appreciated or make life any easier.

Well, @tinshade what exactly are your issues? I do not have any problems following the steps described in the README file on Windows to get it running. If you insist on using npm instead of yarn, the commands are pretty much the same: npm install, npm run dev and npm run start.
I just tested it on my device, I get the blank page when I do not run npm run dev in a separate console. Also, when running that the first time, I got some issues with webpack-cli, which were simply fixed by upgrading the version: npm uninstall webpack-cli, npm install webpack-cli.
Do you get any error messages?
