OpenFL installation / HelloWorld project help

Help
#1

Greetings!

I am very new to Haxe / OpenFL and such, and I would very much like to learn more about these. I’ve installed Haxe 3.2.1 and OpenFL 3.5.3 with these commands:

haxelib install openfl
haxelib run openfl setup

Now running openfl shows it works. However, running this command:

openfl create project HelloWorld

gives me:

Error: Could not find haxelib "openfl-samples", does it need to be installed?

The install is fresh. Am I doing anything wrong so far? What can I do to fix this? I’ve stumbled upon some help from discussions in various communities but none seemed to work for me.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day!

Your are missing the openfl-samples library,
which is strange since haxelib run openfl setup should have installed it.

To fix it you can manually do haxelib install openfl-samples,

but it’s worth a try to redo haxelib run openfl setup since you may be missing other libs,
also does that command prints any error messages?

Redoing the openfl setup didn’t work unfortunately (no error message either), but manually installing openfl-samples did. Thank you very much for your help!

This was a little regression in a recent release, should be fixed on Git, now, I’m sorry for the trouble :slight_smile:
