Topic on Extension talk:ElectronPdfService/Archive

hi,

i dont understand how to do this instructions, i dont uderstand the instruction of the electron service and the steps of the confuguration :

Install and configure an Electron Service exposed over a RESTBase API endpoint

• Install https://github.com/wikimedia/restbase, and set up a config similar to config.example.wikimedia.yaml. Adjust the pdf server URL to reflect your host & port.

so someone could explain me an easy way to install that instructions or something please, im working at windows10 and in xampp

Hi @Mariana duarte100, I will ask my colleagues if they could help you with that & will come back to you! Best, Birgit

Hi @Mariana duarte100,

when installed, the ElectronPdfService adds a link to mediawiki wikis so that users can get pdfs generated by the Electron service. If you want to have that option on a mediawiki wiki you maintain, you need to do multiple things:

First you need to install the Electron Service. Having the service is a prerequisite for our extension, but it is not part of the extension. Therefore, you should follow the installation guide there.

Second, you need to install RESTBase. This is also still a prerequisite for using the extension,and you would need to follow their installation guide.

Third, having all prerequisites installed, you can install our extension and if you get stuck there, we can help you with that. Unfortunately, there is no easier way to do it :(

All the best,

Lea
