Errors when running npm start

[illtellyoulater]

I'm new to proton-native and I followed the instructions at the following link in order to install Proton Native on Windows 10 and create my first app: https://www.techomoro.com/how-to-install-and-set-up-proton-native-on-windows-10/

The commands I ran without problems are:

npm install -g create-proton-app
create-proton-app awesome-project

Then when I run this last command:

cd awesome-project
npm start

it crashed with this info:

TypeError: (0 , _protonNative.render) is not a function

My OS is Windows 10 and Node version is 12.16.0.

Can you help me understand what's going wrong?
Thanks!

I also tried node versions 10.19.0 and 8.17.0 with no success (always getting the same error).

The install method for Proton Native has changed. Please see here: https://proton-native.js.org/#/quickstart

Same error... :P

[Gustav Hansen]

The entire API has changed from V1 to V2. Install using the new method and see the updated documentation
