Local Video File Option about video-to-markdown HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @shaneholloman , do you mean that it's hard running the project locally on windows machine? If so, I can check it. I never run it on windows.

Hi @shaneholloman,
I had the time to test this project locally on a Windows machine. After some attempts I was able to run it.

You can use Git Bash or PowerShell (with PowerShell you have to change the Execution Policy).

You need to install NodeJS 16.x and yarn.

On Windows as soon as you run yarn install you probably will get this error message:

# gyp ERR! find VS **************************************************************
# gyp ERR! find VS You need to install the latest version of Visual Studio
# gyp ERR! find VS including the "Desktop development with C++" workload.
# gyp ERR! find VS For more information consult the documentation at:
# gyp ERR! find VS https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-windows
# gyp ERR! find VS **************************************************************

You can just follow the instructions at https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-windows

• Install the current version of Python from the Microsoft Store package.
• Install Visual Studio Build Tools 2019.
• Launch npm config set msvs_version 2019.

That's all, after these steps you'll be able to run yarn install and yarn start.
