Getting started with Ace
Posted: Wed Nov 21, 2018 5:41 pm
Hi all,
Here is DAISY's page for Ace
Instalation instructions direct you to download Node.JS.
I downloaded version 10.13.0 LTS (Recommended For Most Users)
The next step is to install Ace propper, from a shell window
On Windows: Windows System->Command Prompt or Start->Run->cmd.exe
On Mac: Applications->Utilities->Terminal
Then type npm install @daisy/ace -g
To test if everything is working, type the following in the Shell or terminal window:
$ ace --version
It should give you 1.0.0
Please see detailed Instructions for running Ace.
I would suggest renaming the file that you are planning to test to simplify the command. Use underscores, or CamelNotation (capitalizing the first letter of each word to separate them without using spaces) or just use one word.
If anyone would like to begin by reviewing a report generated by Ace, you will find one in a new folder I've created in the reports EPUB testing folder in Dropbox.
I hope this is useful to get started. I look forward to learning more about this tool and how it is working for everyone.
