hello sir,
I'm new to opensource I'm Familiar with Html, CSS, javascript , Nodejs, ReactJs, MongoDB I want to contribute here how should I start contributing here?
I saw a bug on the home page I want to fix that bug but I'm unable to find the codebase where homepage components are present.
sir, can you please help me how should I start contributing here.

[mitra42]

Hi - the components are in the components directory.

This project isn't being actively managed, but I'll be happy to jump in and answer questions.

[arnab15]

@mitra42 We can manage it . It's also a great project. I'm going to contribute to it if you permit me. I'm very excited about this project.

I'm getting errors during installation I tried npm install as well as yarn install also but it's throwing the same error.

[mitra42]

I always used yarn, didn't test with NPM.

It looks like the @interenetarchive/ia-components package has been upgraded to require bookreader.

There is a dependency on bookreader as well, so I'm not sure why its not finding its peer. Unfortunately at the time I built package.json (and possibly today) the only place to get bookreader was from github - I don't know if its on npm yet, it might be @jbuckner would know if he's reading this.

i.e. replacing that dependency -
"@internetarchive/bookreader": "git+https://github.com/internetarchive/bookreader.git",
with
"@internetarchive/bookreader": "^4.2.2"
might work. It might also work with later versions of ia-components.

Sorry I can't give solid answers, its almost a year since I built this last, and it looks like some of the other IA packages have changed and possibly even changed the technologies that they themselves use.

how can we fix it?.Is it possible to fix it. @mitra42

[mitra42]

It should be possible, but that will take some experimentation - I think replacing the dependency (in package.json) as suggested above might work.

Thank you sir @mitra42
