Error attempting to open the P5.js downloaded program

[Chigoz]

Your question is not clear, I guess you want to run p5 locally on your Computer.

[Do_Not_Give_Up]

Yes, I want to work directly on my PC.

Hi @Do_Not_Give_Up ,

what error is shown ?
Usually you only have to click on the index.html. If you have enable javascript and the script tag(s) are pointing to the correct file/uri location and can be accessed, it should work …

To work directly on your pc while online check out this video by Daniel Shiffman. Start at 16 minutes.

🔴 Creative Coding with p5.js in Visual Studio Code

To work offline, you need to download the p5 libraries, they should be in the same folder with the index.html, style.css and sketch.js files

Sketch is displayed twice inside my index.html page

My advice is to begin w/ a minimum runnable “index.html” template file like this 1: <script defer src=https://Unpkg.com/p5></script> <script defer src=sketch.js></script> Once verified it’s working, you can add more stuff to it little by little. Here’s some online sketch using this very same minimum template:

P5.js - not displaying static gif image

Some notes about your posted “index.html” file: You’re loading the same library 2 times: the unmodified & minimized versions. That is, “p5.js” + “p5.min.js”, “p5.gif.js” + “p5.gif.min.js”. Should pick 1 or the other: And a more serious 1: you’re loading p5.js addon libraries before the p5.js main library! Here’s their correct order for each category: <!-- p5.js main library: --> <script defer src=https://cdn.JsDelivr.net/npm/p5></script> <!-- p5.js addon libraries: --> <script defer src…

Hello Chigoz, in what main folder should all of these items be loaded into?

[Chigoz]

The folder should be the name of your project, you need only these 3 files and the library to run the project offline. Check out these images.

@Chigoz, I see your Windows has “hide extensions for known files” active!

For security reasons, disable that so you can clearly see a file isn’t executable when you double-click it!

[Do_Not_Give_Up]

Okay, how do I do that?

Hi @Do_Not_Give_Up ,

The foldername doesn’t matter, can be xxx, but to execute the project in the browser you need to load (double click) the html document not the javascript file.

Hello mnse, as I was was working with the online p5.js Web Editor, I attempted to save a simple sketch, I was directed to log in. For what ever reason, my log in was rejected; I then requested a reset of my password. I have yet received an email to complete the reset password process?

Help,
