Currently, I am facing difficulties with the Potree viewer as I try to display one of the sample html files from the potree npm library. Running on npm version 8.19.2, I have installed potree version '0.1.0' using the command 'npm install potree'. However, it seems that the latest version available on GitHub is 1.8.
In order to test the installation, I have been utilizing node express by running 'node app.js'. The express server appears to be working correctly as it is able to locate and display the html file. Despite this, the page remains blank with only the tab labelled as 'Potree Viewer', indicating that the viewer launches successfully but does not progress beyond that point. Has anyone else encountered this issue or is it just me? I have attempted uninstalling and reinstalling without any success.
This is what my 'app.js' file looks like:
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const path = require('path');
const router = express.Router();
router.get('/',function(req,res){
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname+'/node_modules/potree/examples/shapefiles.html'));
});
app.use('/', router);
app.listen(process.env.port || 1234);
console.log('Running at Port 1234');
