Are there any extra instructions for running it on Linux?

[slacktracer]

To run it on Ubuntu am I supposed to just download source, npm i deps and npm start it?

Doing that it just hangs after entering the (local) MonggoDB URI. No errors on the console or anything.

My point is, any extra recommendations on how to make it work on Linux? I'm not sure what to do next.

Hi! Did you globally install extract-mongo-schema?
npm -g install extract-mongo-schema

@Judanator

I actually did.

slacktracer@determinist:~$ npm ls --global --depth=0

├── extract-mongo-schema@0.2.10
├── npm@6.14.11
└── yarn@1.22.10

Then:

I'm considering trying to debug it again. Tried it at first but got lost on the IPC Renderer call. 😅

[Judanator]

Hm, is your MongoDB URI accessible everywhere or is it limited to only your IP address?

We will definitely look into compatibility issues with Ubuntu. We've only tested for Mac and Windows so far, but we'll definitely take a look and get back to you!

@Judanator Something changed...

I'm trying to connect to a local database: mongodb://localhost:27017/twiage

On first try there is a timeout error and, after refreshing the interface, on the second try there is a deleted file error...

On the second try I see my collections are there now at least...
