Install Guide

[jakescott]

I followed the instructions by installing like this:
curl -# http://expressjs.com/install.sh | sh

I can use the $ express to generate a new app.

I can render the page but the css is returning a 500 internal server
error
Error: Cannot find module 'sass'
at module:249:21
at findModulePath (module:119:7)
at searchLocations (module:151:14)
at module:160:18
at path:79:19
at node.js:255:9

Would somebody be able to describe how to include other modules such
as sass.js and markdown-js. It would be good to know how to install by
cloning from Github and where we need to place these files.

Cheers
Jake

they just need to available to require(), so either:

   - npm install sass

   - clone the sass repo to ~/.node_libraries

   - submodule the library in your app and require.paths.unshift() the lib directory to expose it

I have had people suggest bundling these with express, but I dont 

want to bundle every potentially useful module with express so it

is a bit of a trade off.

Hi TJ thanks for the reply - Is there an example of some code of how to do this? - I'm only just learning node and express.

[Jake Scott]

Oh sorry dont worry about answering that one I just saw the blog example.

[jakescott]

Has anyone got an example of a jade template and markdown working
together?
This is my app code


/**
* Module dependencies.
*/

var express = require('express'),
connect = require('connect'),
markdown = require('./lib/markdown-js/lib/markdown');

// Create and export Express app

var app = express.createServer();

// Configuration

app.configure(function(){
app.set('views', __dirname + '/views');
app.use(connect.bodyDecoder());
app.use(connect.methodOverride());
app.use(connect.compiler({ src: __dirname + '/public', enable:
['sass'] }));
app.use(connect.staticProvider(__dirname + '/public'));
});

app.configure('development', function(){
app.set('reload views', 1000);
app.use(connect.errorHandler({ dumpExceptions: true, showStack:
true }));
});

app.configure('production', function(){
app.use(connect.errorHandler());
});

// Routes

app.get('/', function(req, res){
res.render('index.jade', {
locals: {
title: 'Express'
}
});
});

app.listen(3000);

and my jade file is

h1= title
p Welcome to #{title}

:markdown
| Woah! Jade _and_ markdown, very **cool**


form
label(for='email') Email
div.form_part
p
input(type='email', id='email', name='email')

label(for='password') Password
div.form_part
p
input(type='password', id='password', name='password')


but I get the error


Connect

You need either node-discount (npm install markdown) or markdown-js 

installed

Yeah I have tried (npm install markdown) maybe there is something wierd happening on my system. Will do some more investigating tonight.

Sorry to be a pain
Jake

[vision media [ Tj Holowaychuk ]]

for node-discount (markdown on npm) you need discount installed too, it is just bundings.

deps suck :D
