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/000000000000…

That’s our old friend, the checkpoints in the temp folder issue again: https://forum.dfinity.org/t/bug-failed-to-compile-wasm-that-is-known-to-be-good/270/3 and https://forum.dfinity.org/t/getting-an-error-when-trying-to-install-my-cannister/271/10

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

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 :slight_smile:

Thank you that’s a great resource!
