Hi,
Can you run it from the directory which has the package.json file.

[arunoda]

@jeffrygan anyway, you can start here: https://storybook.js.org/basics/slow-start-guide/

[jason-ivy]

@mnmtanish the project already has package.json.
@arunoda I do this way, but complicated procedures

[arunoda]

@jeffrygan we detect your project type based on the package.json.
We'd like to see it or the repo to fix the original issue.

Here's the detection logic we are doing: https://github.com/storybooks/storybook/blob/master/lib/cli/lib/detect.js

@arunoda thx, I only init the package.json without install react or anything. I have to install react first.

[arunoda]

Ah okay. Cool.

Will the quick start guide ever work without having done all the things in the slow-start guide first?

The quick start implies that nothing else is necessary and it should just work "with any kind of React project", which doesn't seem to be the case, unless you have storybook package installed locally, an npm script present and all that jazz....

Hi @akatech !
what is your actual project type?
If getstorybook cant work with it you can try to do it manually

[marcushenrique]

@akatech like @jason-ivy said, I had to install react first but I don't know why this is not automatic.

[alterx]

@marcushenrique, we support other libraries (eg. Vue), so installing React automatically wouldn't make sense for everyone. What you should do first is create a React or Vue project and after that install storybook.

the project I am trying to install ui-storybook is using angular. i am running sb-create in the same location my package.json is located.

i am getting the same error as above

Detecting project type
    Unsupported Project type. [code: UNDETECTED]. For now SB support only Angular 1 projects.

My project does not use React. Should I still install React to get this working. Also, where is the slow-start guide located?

[Hypnosphi]

It would be handy to show a prompt with options when automatic detection fails

[Hypnosphi]

@jomarquez we don't have sb-create command. Looks like you're trying to use another similar tool thats seems to support Angular 1, so you can open an issue about supporting later versions there.

But maybe you don't need to. Actually, we're working on supporting Angular 2+, you can track the progress in #269

The slow start guides are available at our website. We'll add one for Angular as soon as it will be supported.
