How can noobs install this?

[currentsound]

Hi, how can I install this on Windows exactly? I don't know how to turn the code into an *.exe because I'm not a programmer and I don't understand GitHub.

Can you supply an pre-compiled installation file for Windows?

I know it's probably late for you guys, but maybe for future visitors the link to the compiled app for Windows might be useful:

It's a 32bit binary as my girlfriend uses her old Intel Atom tablet with her piano, but for this app it doesn't make any difference and runs on 64bit Windows just fine (tested it on 32bit Windows 10 and 64bit Windows 11).

I have been so frustrated that nobody seemed to make such app yet, so I either had to code it myself, or at least learn how to build node.js apps - I have zero experience with the platform, but eventually I have succeeded. Thanks a lot to @blairjordan for coding this! It's incredibly useful for piano beginners.

Thanks. Finally I can test it out. If it works I will use it for teaching online piano lessons.

Thanks or your efforts to compile this @JohnyGQD

I'll be reviving this project over the next couple of weeks, and one priority will definitely be to support Windows binraries.

Hey,
I am trying to run this on Mac, I have done the first line and installed the repository (git clone https://github.com/blairjordan/pianoboi), but when I type 'npm install' it does not recognise the command. Could you please help me? I am not really good with command lines.
Thanks

Hey, I am trying to run this on Mac, I have done the first line and installed the repository (git clone https://github.com/blairjordan/pianoboi), but when I type 'npm install' it does not recognise the command.

I got a little farther with this, though I'm pretty unfamiliar with command line stuff too...

I first installed npm following this https://radixweb.com/blog/installing-npm-and-nodejs-on-windows-and-mac#mac

then did

git clone https://github.com/blairjordan/pianoboi
cd pianoboi
npm install
npm start

That installed and started the app, but then it failed because missing a package called 'electron' - I think. And now I'm stuck again...
