serve is a popular npm module that just serves a directory on port 3000.

npm install -g serve should do the trick, then http://127.0.0.1:3000/test

Thanks, @SlexAxton! That's very helpful.

What about the ./bin/modernizr -c lib/config-all.json command? What does that command do and do you know how to call it without error?

Not sure why that's going wrong. Maybe make sure you have a recent node.js version installed and that you successfully ran npm install

~/code/Modernizr master
❯ ./bin/modernizr -c lib/config-all.json
Modernizr build saved to /Users/alex/code/Modernizr/modernizr.js

~/code/Modernizr master*
❯ tail -f /Users/alex/code/Modernizr/modernizr.js
    Modernizr._q[i]();
  }

  // Leak Modernizr namespace
  window.Modernizr = Modernizr;


;

})(window, document);

What about the ./bin/modernizr -c lib/config-all.json command? What does that command do

that is how you create a build from the command line

and do you know how to call it without error?

it does run on windows (at least it does for me). You should be running it from the root of the repo, after running npm install.

If you feel like you are able to make the directions clearer, please update the readme

cheers!

Here's what I'm seeing on my windows machine:

Video which plays back quicker.

isn't this #1714?

Great find, @roblarsen. Thanks for pointing that out. I believe it is.

thanks @roblarsen!

lemme know if there is anything else, @zackhall

@patrickkettner I think fixing this would be a good thing. You never know how many people don't even make it here.

It's either documentation or something like this:

https://github.com/roblarsen/Modernizr/blob/windows-command-line/bin/modernizr.bat

Which just makes the errors go away on Windows (although I didn't thoroughly test it)

Care to make a PR?

@patrickkettner Yeah, I was planning to either way, I just wanted to put that option out there to see if it seemed okay before going through the time to test it.

The whole purpose of bower is to automagically download the dependency working/ready inst it? Now I'm being asked to cd into my bower dependencies Modernizr directory and issue a series of commands. Is there any possible way to include a pre-built ready version when using bower or is the modernizr file size becoming an issue?

@tomshaw you're installing a builder, which is automagically downloaded and working. If you want to install a build you should use the zip functionality of our web builder:

> npm install https://modernizr.com/download?contenteditable-emoji-notification-prefixedcssvalue-setclasses.zip
> bower install https://modernizr.com/download?contenteditable-emoji-notification-prefixedcssvalue-setclasses.zip

Manually downloading a build is an option I do so with gsap and place it in my bower dependency folder. Another options is to manually check for the specific functionality by hand. Either way thanks for your help.
