Errors Building SciWIn Studio

[XaverStiensmeier]

Using Ubuntu24.04 I had to specify bash at:

# Install Dioxus CLI
curl -sSL http://dioxus.dev/install.sh | sh

I also had to use

curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

to get around:

dx serve -p sciwin

ERROR dx serve: `cargo metadata` exited with an error: error: failed to parse manifest at `/home/xaver/Documents/presentationen/SciWIn/sciwin/Cargo.toml`

Caused by:
  `resolver` setting `3` is not valid, valid options are "1" or "2"

I then encountered:

and later a few more which I solved by:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install \
  libgtk-3-dev \
  libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev \
  libsoup-3.0-dev \
  pkg-config \
  build-essential \
  libxdo-dev

Afterwards, the GUI started, but after opening my https://github.com/fairagro/m4.4_demo_corn_prediction/tree/main project which I previously successfully executed on REANA, I was unable to see the node overview which I intended to capture for a presentation.

I adjusted that part in readme.
https://github.com/fairagro/sciwin?tab=readme-ov-file#running-sciwin-studio

For the workflow of the corn demo, i can open the "demo "Workflow. The screenshot shows you opened the merge_features tool, what happens if you open "demo"?
Linux

Windows;

[XaverStiensmeier]

Ah, should have tried that. Yea, it works when I click demo.cwl - I somehow expected the window to be already there or to be able to unhide it so I didn't really think about clicking on other cwl files... my bad!

Thanks for updating the readme!

[XaverStiensmeier]

I noticed that it is still:

# Install Dioxus CLI
curl -sSL http://dioxus.dev/install.sh | sh

which does not work for modern ubuntu which links sh to dash but dioxus needs bash, I think.

[JensKrumsieck]

Changed it to curl -sSL https://dioxus.dev/install.sh | bash in README.md
