"emscripten" not-found error (trying to get started on yew)

I'm trying to get started on yew, and encountered the "emscripten" not-found error. These are the instructions provided in the error message:

You can install it manually like this:
  curl -O https://s3.amazonaws.com/mozilla-games/emscripten/releases/emsdk-portable.tar.gz
  tar -xzf emsdk-portable.tar.gz
  source emsdk-portable/emsdk_env.sh
  emsdk update
  emsdk install sdk-incoming-64bit
  emsdk activate sdk-incoming-64bit

I followed and re-executed "./ci/run_tests.sh" again and it stills fails with the same problem.

Computer:yew-master ikevin$ ./ci/run_tests.sh
Is Rust from nightly: 0
Testing for asmjs-unknown-emscripten...
error: you don't have Emscripten installed!

You can install it manually like this:
curl -O https://s3.amazonaws.com/mozilla-games/emscripten/releases/emsdk-portable.tar.gz
tar -xzf emsdk-portable.tar.gz
source emsdk-portable/emsdk_env.sh
emsdk update
emsdk install sdk-incoming-64bit
emsdk activate sdk-incoming-64bit
Computer:yew-master ikevin$

In fact, re-did it twice and it is still the same.

What can I do to get the yew examples working?

OK. I got it through by:

  1. Setting the "Command Line Tools" in Xcode.

  2. And, re-running "source emsdk-portable/emsdk_env.sh".

However, I'm now hit by another error as I ran ".ci/run-tests.sh":

error: you need to have either Chromium or Chrome installed and in your PATH to run the tests!

Well...

I'm still getting getting emscripten errors:

I think I used the wrong command. It should be:

cargo web start

and it seems to be working.

Yes, the appropriate way to start a yew program is to use cargo web start, which generates the page for you and starts a server which serves it.

Do note although that there's a bit of a problem with yew, given its complexity, it can sometimes overwhelm wasm and results with:

So you need to run it in release mode to make it work:

cargo web start --release
