Hey everybody, I can’t find any documentation on the front end support that was released recently, Is that correct? I don’t have a lot of experience with Node and would love a walkthrough.
There are some docs linked here: Frontend Support is here!
You’d need to have node installed first though. I’ll add some details on this for you when I get a moment.

ah thank you. I checked out the links at the developer center but didn’t expect it under getting started
No prob. Actually this should probably do the trick for the node install: https://nodesource.com/blog/installing-nodejs-tutorial-mac-os-x/
(@alexa.smith re links to front end docs.)
currently when I try to run dfx start it keeps starting over and over giving this error.
thread 'main' panicked at 'Failed to recover from a checkpoint @6032 on start: Error { code: Internal, description: "Failed to open file /var/folders/ly/ss119xwj7q1772tfr84zs1rc0000gp/T/checkpoints/0000000000001790/system_metadata.cbor for read: No such file or directory (os error 2)" }. One way to proceed is to remove the unrecoverable checkpoint located at /var/folders/ly/ss119xwj7q1772tfr84zs1rc0000gp/T/checkpoints/0000000000001790', state_manager/src/lib.rs:88:25
any idea what might be causing it?
That’s our old friend, the checkpoints in the temp folder issue again:

and

@Fulco You can also follow the checkpoints management video I made this week if you need help finding them.

Thanks Comp_Sci! Yes, this one > How to fix the main reason for SDK upgrade issues
Docs will be updated with more details on front-end soon! In the meantime, you can continue to track @enzo’s progress on the “LinkedUp” app here: https://github.com/dfinity-lab/linkedup
