Please update the quick start

[Beta Jun]

Setting up:

• Clone the repository
• Configure your github repository, personal access token and the local boostnotes directory in .env file.
• Configure other application settings in config.js file.
• Run npm install
• Run npm start to run the sync process.

---

Configuration .env file

GITHUB_TOKEN="personal access token---个人访问令牌"
GITHUB_REPO="github repository---boostnote的github库地址"
LOCAL_BOOSTNOTE_DIR="local boostnotes directory---boostnote的本地储存目录"

Configuration .env file

There is no clear description of which configuration is required

What are the necessary configuration files for config.js file？？？

Please update the quick start！

[Deepal Jayasekara]

@ldada config.js contains all the configuration available, which you can tune according to your requirement. .env file contains secrets which allows boostnote-github-sync access to your github account. You have to generate them yourself as I mentioned in the readme, and put them in the .env file. All three variables in the .env file is required.

If you get any errors during startup, please describe it in details including the error stack trace.

@dpjayasekara Ok, thank you very much!
What are the requirements for the program operating environment?I was running a new machine that I just configured, and I seem to have missed some problems, so that some special errors occurred at runtime.

Please include any errors with stack traces to identify your exact problem. And let me know the OS, and the node version of your setup.

Unfortunately, this was tested on UNIX only. This seems to be a windows-specific problem, and the stack trace does not help a lot to identify the exact problem either. This looks related to kelektiv/node.bcrypt.js#632 but I don't see any error/warn messages that it failed to download pre-built binaries. Is this stack trace complete?

[Deepal Jayasekara]

Try the following steps:

1. Install windows-build-tools globally

npm install --global --production windows-build-tools

2. Clean up node_modules in the boostnote-github-sync project
3. Re-install dependencies with npm install

@dpjayasekara
I reinstalled C++ build tools for Windows --- windows-build-tools.
Then npm install succeeded again, but there was an error in npm start.
The error is : missing script: start

This is the error log：

I think the reason for the error is in the package.json file.Start configuration under script is missing

[Deepal Jayasekara]

I'll fix that in the package.json. Please use node index.js until then. Thanks for reporting.
