Re: What forum is best for a JTOpen and Node question?

What errors are you getting?

Did you actually create a new Node project? You need to do this first using "npm init" inside the folder where your project files are/will be, this will create a "package.json" file for you. I would avoid using spaces in the the folder name, it can cause problems with some Node utilities. If your version of NPM is less than 5.0.0 you should also add "--save" when you install a dependency "npm install node-jt400 --save" (as of version 5 it saves by default), this will update your package.json with the new dependency.

Subject: [WEB400] What forum is best for a JTOpen and Node question?

Hi,

I'm not sure what forum is best to ask this question.

I have node running on a Windows machine. I want to install the node-jt400 module (https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.npmjs.com%2Fpackage%2Fnode-jt400&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cee331ad4a0a7400bab5808d58ad55fb5%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636567571395935978&sdata=Y1ojQ2H68I0D8EWZR%2FBia2%2FSIS5g9KCsktJgAAoJ584%3D&reserved=0).

* The node-jt400 module allows JS scripts to access the JTOpen Java classes.

* The JTOpen Java classes allow remote access to IBM i resources.
So, a JS script running in node on Windows can call an IBM i COBOL program or update a DB2400 file using the JTOpen Java classes under the covers.

I know the install command (npm install node-jt400). But I'm getting errors.

I'm not sure WEB400 is the right place to get help on this. If not, can someone please recommend a better forum?

Thanks,
