Re installing node.js, did the instructions at "Installing TiddlyWiki on Node.js" at tiddlywiki.com not work for you? They were the one's I followed for node.js on Windows. I may have jumped through loops and have forgotten.
Do you have a requirement for cloud or net-based tiddlywiki? I notice the options you tried were net based. The easiest net-based solution is TiddlyServer (IMO). The easiest simple save solution for standalone files is either BJ's savetiddlers approach or Mario's new saver described here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywiki/h0k7z62N79Y HTH Mark On Wednesday, November 15, 2017 at 7:58:57 AM UTC-8, Furicle wrote: > > I am having a ridiculously complicated time trying to use TW.
