Problem running Configurator locally

[breadoven]

Been trying to get Configurator to run after updating from the master having not updated for a while. Seems Yarn is now being used but after following the current instructions I'm having no luck getting it to run. The following is the current error:

Doesn't npm install need to be run to update things ?

Are the build and run instructions missing something simple ?

Try this:

1. Clean out old dependencies

rm -rf node_modules
rm package-lock.json # If it exists

2. Install with yarn (not npm!)

yarn install

3. Run with yarn

yarn start

or more more developer yumminess:

ENABLE_REMOTE_DEBUGGING=1 NODE_ENV=development  yarn start

Also, master got messy when people were branching from master and PR-ing to master - there was a mix of stuff that should have been in 8.1 and stuff that would have needed to wait for 9.0. That made it so we couldn't build a 8.1, because there was incompatible stuff mixed in.

To avoid that in the future, we'll be using maintenance-9.x for compatible stuff, maintenance-10.x for things that break compatibility. master isn't really useful for anything. Because when it was used, there was confusion about what it should be used for.

OK Yarn seemed to install better this time albeit with errors. Last time it got stuck on the packages bit then decided the internet wasn't working (it was) then gave up. However:

alh@BlackworksLap8:/mnt/f/INAVDev/inav-configurator$ yarn install

Electron-forge was part of the node_modules folder that now no longer exists ? Should it be installed by Yarn ?

After much faffing trying to fix some issue with libc and node being stuck on 10.19.0 ignoring attempts to change it using nvm (both fixed although I'm not sure how exactly) ... it still won't run with error:

An unhandled rejection has occurred inside Forge:
Error: node-gyp failed to rebuild '/mnt/f/INAVDev/inav-configurator/node_modules/@serialport/bindings-cpp'

Out of interest which node.js version is required ? I'm using 22.18.0 with WSL Ubuntu.
