## Setup
1. Download streamwall. You can use git, or download and unzip https://github.com/chromakode/streamwall/archive/main.zip
2. Using a terminal/console window, go to the streamwall directory and install the dependencies: `npm install`
2. Open the streamwall directory in a console
- In Windows, the LTS install from nodejs.org will install a program called "Node.js command prompt." Open this program; Command Prompt and Powershell may not have the correct environment variables. Once it's open, change directories to where you extracted the file, e.g., `> cd c:\Users\<myname>\Downloads\streamwall\`
- On MacOS, you should be able to use the default system terminal or other terminals like iTerm2 as long as a sufficient version of Node is installed. With that open, change directories to where you extracted the file, e.g., `> cd ~/Downloads/streamwall`
3. Run the following command: `npm install`
## To Start Streamwall
1. Using a terminal/console window, go to the streamwall directory and run `npm run start-local`
1. Using a terminal/console window as described above, go to the streamwall directory, and run `npm run start-local`
2. This will open a black stream window and a browser window. The default username and password are 'woke'.
3. Use the browser window to load or control streams. The initial list will be populated from https://woke.net/#streams
4. If you enter the same stream code in multiple cells, it will merge them together for a larger stream.
## Troubleshooting
### Unexpected token errors during `npm install`
We've observed this occur in cases where file corruption is an issue. The fix has been to clear the npm cache, remove the streamwall directory, and start from scratch.
### The Streamwall Electron window only fits 2.5 tiles wide
It's possible that your system resolution is causing a problem. If you only broadcast at 720p, you can update the height and width in `src/constants.js` to 1280 and 720 respectively. Save your changes and restart Streamwall
