Hello All,
I’m trying to create my first project, and so far failing miserably. As a self-taught programmer who learns by looking through other people’s code, I thought I’d start by getting one of the “example” projects running on my server and begin studying the ins-and-outs of how it works. Because the “Frequency Spectrum” example is closest to what I ultimately want to do, I was hoping to get that one running on my server as a starting point.
I’ve tried myself multiple times, but I’m afraid I either don’t have enough knowledge of the fundamentals to get this example working on my own, and/or I’m way overcomplicating matters and making it way harder than it should be the more I try.
So, I’m appealing to the community, what would be the best way to package up this particular example so that I could get it working on my server?
Thank you so much in advance,
Julio

Welcome to the forum, Julia. Can you explain a little more what you exactly want to do??

Until you become more comfortable, I suggest working in the web editor for now.
Here is the Frequency Spectrum example from the coding train.
