Topic: Pro version npm instructions are so unclear, here's how to npm install Pro packages

stathisntonas free asked 5 years ago


Since npm i instructions are unclear and caused me 3 hours trying to figure out, here's how to do it:

  1. From this page , follow the instructions to generate a new SSH key pair. If you want to test the SSH key, run the following when everything is set up: ssh -T git@git.mdbootstrap.com and not ssh -T git@gitlab.com as stated in that page. You should get back a Welcome to GitLab, @yourname!
  2. Head to your profile page in mdbootstrap gitlab page
  3. Click on your profile icon on top right and click settings, then navigate to Access Tokens page (direct link)
  4. Put a name for your access token, leave expire date empty if you wish, check all 3 boxes then click on Create Personal Access Token button.
  5. Copy the generated token and paste it into package.json like: (in my case, React Pro) "mdbreact":"git+https://oauth2:<HERE GOES THE TOKEN YOU COPIED FROM ACCESS TOKENS PAGE>@git.mdbootstrap.com/mdb/react/re-pro.git"

Then everything should work fine!

Do you have any ideas about what can we do to make our installation guide more understandable?


stathisntonas free commented 5 years ago

I guess all it takes is to correct step 1 in gitlab and add step 3 & 4 to the guide.

Thanks for your reply!

Thanks, I bought this about 2 months ago and I could never use it because it was so complicated.


stathisntonas free commented 5 years ago

You’re welcome, it’s been a month and instructions are still not updated!


Bartłomiej Malanowski staff commented 5 years ago

@Andre Camargo what's the problem? Please tell us which step is too complicated so I'll explain it ;)

I spent a few minutes reading through the instructions, got that feeling that this was going to take longer than expected, and was very lucky to stumble upon this comment early - thanks for this.
