Hey Arlen: Great to hear, thanks! So i ran those commands, installed TiddlyServer on my Raspberry Pi gateway... But hit a little snag setting up the listener, in that port :8080 is owned by another application server. Can't change that for the moment, as it's a service i can't really mess with. Could talk to that developer about changing the port he's using, i suppose...
But just to see this working, i tried to install on my Mac, but terminal tells me: -bash: npm: command not found Suppose i could use a different package manager, if i knew how (yes, i am a complete unix n00b =8-( Will try to bone up on the requisite skills, but any more crib notes would of course be appreciated! /walt On Wednesday, April 29, 2020 at 3:06:52 PM UTC+1, Arlen Beiler wrote: > > I have tried doing SQLite but there are some caveats that need to be > accounted for. > > What I would recommend you do is use data folders instead of single file > wikis.
