3. Also installed nodejs and npm.
sudo apt-get install nodejs

4. Installed JavaScript Distribution of Ice using npm -

Please help because I have tried a lot of times and it just doesnt work.
Also after installing when i just write slice2js on the terminal and press enter - it shows this error -

No command 'slice2js' found, did you mean:
Command 'slice2cs' from package 'ice35-translators' (universe)
slice2js: command not found

    You should switch to 3.6 branch of the demos 3.7 has not been yet published, if you really want to test 3.7 you will need to build it from sources see Build instructions in ice-demos/js and ice/js

  • Hello,

    I cloned the 3.6 branch now when i run npm install it works fine with a few warnings but now when i run npm run build command in the js folder it says this
    i checked to there was no build file in the directory. it says in the instructions that - Now use gulp to build the demos. so how to do that. Simply writing the npm run build wont work.

    Yes this changed from 3.6 to 3.7 you are still looking at 3.7 instructions, check instructions in 3.6 branch

    hello,
    ok so the demos are working fine but there is one minor doubt i have. How to stop a server running on a terminal such that it does not leave this error when rerun in the same terminal -

    !! 07/19/17 17:22:05.877 ./server: error: Network.cpp:2065: Ice::SocketException:
    socket exception: Address already in use

    I used ctrl+Z last time i shut the server and i think this does not releases the port properly. Also, Killing the terminal works.
