Description

I tried to built <model-viewer&gt locally but I face an error in "npm run bootstrap" due to no @google/model-viewer-shared-assets.

$ git clone https://github.com/google/model-viewer.git
$ cd model-viewer
$ npm install
$ npm run bootstrap

> model-viewer-packages@ bootstrap C:\Users\Takahiro\Documents\model-viewer
> lerna bootstrap --ci

Actually, https://www.npmjs.com/package/@google/model-viewer-shared-assets is 404. Please let me know if I'm missing something.

@takahirox unfortunately we don't do local development on Windows, so it's difficult for us to know for sure if there are Windows-specific quirks with our dev process. The package you are referring to is a "private" package (found in packages/shared-assets), so we don't publish it to NPM. Instead, our package management tool Lerna is supposed to create a symlink when you run bootstrap.

You can see in our CI build that npm run bootstrap works as intended in a fresh Linux environment: https://github.com/google/model-viewer/runs/442731146?check_suite_focus=true. It also works in my local environment.

I would like to help, but I don't have access to a Windows machine right now.

Thanks for the response. Regarding no @google/model-viewer-shared-assets package problem I found an easy mistaken in my side, nodejs and npm are old. By upgrading them to the latest, the problem has been resolved.

But I faced another problem. A script includes ln command, but MINGW handles it as just copy so that if [ -L file ] in shell script causes a problem. I also tried PowerShell but it doesn't have ln command.

Finally I tried WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) Ubuntu then it works fine, thanks!
