Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/anomalyco/opentui/issues/230

I want to see the cool interactive examples include in the repo, but when I do the steps in the README, they are giving me trouble.

clone the repo:

PS C:\Users\david\Desktop> git clone git@github.com:sst/opentui.git
Cloning into 'opentui'...

do the steps in the README:

PS C:\Users\david\Desktop> cd .\opentui\
PS C:\Users\david\Desktop\opentui> bun install
bun install v1.3.1 (89fa0f34)

+ prettier@3.6.2

418 packages installed [4.47s]
PS C:\Users\david\Desktop\opentui> cd .\packages\core\
PS C:\Users\david\Desktop\opentui\packages\core> bun run .\src\examples\index.ts
error: Cannot find module '@opentui/core-win32-x64/index.ts' from 'C:\Users\david\Desktop\opentui\packages\core\src\zig.ts'

Bun v1.3.1 (Windows x64)

I have no idea if I should have zig installed to run the examples, I have already installed it (via the same command below) and restarted my computer before attempting the above.

PS C:\Users\david\Desktop\opentui\packages\core> winget install -e --id zig.zig
Found an existing package already installed. Trying to upgrade the installed package...
No available upgrade found.
No newer package versions are available from the configured sources.
PS C:\Users\david\Desktop\opentui\packages\core>

I think it might be necessary to go into packages/core and run the build command, but that also gives me an error:

What works for me (on Windows at least):

git clone git@github.com:sst/opentui.git
cd .\opentui\
cd .\packages\core\
bun install @opentui/core
bun run .\src\examples\index.ts

The core seeming to be: bun install @opentui/core

I imagine it runs bun install, and then additionally installs @opentui/core but I have no idea, I am new to bun.

Doing bun install @opentui/core in the root of the project, results in:

PS C:\Users\david\Desktop\opentui> bun install @opentui/core
bun add v1.3.1 (89fa0f34)
error: Package "@opentui/core@0.1.29" has a dependency loop
  Resolution: "@opentui/core@workspace:packages\core"
  Dependency: "@opentui/core@^0.1.29"
error: An internal error occurred (DependencyLoop)

So it has to be in the core folder I guess.

Not sure if I'm doing something stoooooopid or if the README should be updated.

No I think windows needs some more love, I haven't really tested it on windows at all tbh.

Same error on linux, seems like it's about zig 0.15.1, as I saw root_source_file was removed in 0.15.x , which is part of the error

Ah yeah, it's currently 0.14.1 only. Needs some migration work to go to 0.15.1

Needs to be built manually from main or switch to tag that supports the installed package version. Like if you run bun install and it installs v0.1.31, you need to be on that tagged commit for the source to work.
