Windows install
To get started you should probably head over and install node
Nodecg 2.2 (which this project runs on) currently requires one of these 3 node versions or better without a major version change
16.13.0 || 18.12.0 || 20.9.0
The recommended for most users button should be correct, current version may cause issues
Click that button and run the nodejs installer.
Next you'll want to install nodecg. I reccomend using command line for this part. Its the easiest option.
First press the windows button on your keyboard, then type cmd
You should see something like this
What I and the nodecg website recommend is using nodecg cli for the rest of the install, it's quick and basically painless.
First you'll type into the CMD
npm install --global nodecg-cli
Setting the global tag saves so much hassel.
Next you'll navigate to the folder you want to install nodecg in. I reccomend d: drive.
so you'll type
d:
Followed by a
mkdir nodecg
this will make the folder you install nodecg into
Next
cd nodecg
CMD is now in nodecg (I used nodecj because I already have nodecg and you can't make a folder that already exists with mkdir)
you'll now want to (currently nodecg-cli fails to install 2.x builds due to a dependency update)
nodecg setup 1.9.0
followed by
nodecg install SSBDoppler/slippi-hud
Followed with
nodecg defaultconfig slippi-hud
Now the node package is installed and ready to start! (Don't close cmd, you still need it to run the program.)
